# OnceRoll vs the roll

OnceRoll and the roll are too close to call on the numbers: across 6 compared parameters — price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. OnceRoll sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and the roll sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OnceRoll ships an update weekly, the roll every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
