# Tyrant vs Dice Harbor

The clearest difference is ads: Tyrant at none against Dice Harbor's shown. Tyrant also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (59 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tyrant sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dice Harbor sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tyrant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tyrant has 59 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Tyrant's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dice Harbor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tyrant ships an update every 5 days, Dice Harbor every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
