Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dicebound at none against Split Squad's shown. Dicebound also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Split Squad's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
