# Roll vs Trestle

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trestle at none against Roll's 1. Trestle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Roll's advantage is ratings volume (460 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roll sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Trestle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Trestle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roll has 460 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Roll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Trestle's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
