# Pirate Dice vs NonoQuest

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NonoQuest at 100% against Pirate Dice's 20%. NonoQuest also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). Pirate Dice's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NonoQuest sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pirate Dice asks for nothing beyond the download.

NonoQuest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pirate Dice has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Pirate Dice's written reviews are positive against 100% of NonoQuest's.

Pirate Dice ships an update every 5 weeks, NonoQuest every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
