Dice Drop is a free 3D physics dice roller — real, tumbling dice that bounce off the tray, knock into each other and settle where they land, just like the dice on your table. No sign-up, and it works offline. Nothing is pre-decided. There is no random number dressed up with a picture of a die: the dice are thrown into a walled tray, the physics runs on your device, and the result is read from whichever face finishes upwards. EVERY DIE YOU NEED • D2 (coin), D3, D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and the iconic D20, A true 100-sided D100 ball, plus classic percentile D% (two D10s) • Build a mixed pool of up to 20 dice and roll them together — 8d6 for a fireball, a fistful of d6 for a wargame, 4d6 drop-lowest for stats • A live running total, with dropped dice shown separately so you can see the maths • Roll history and lifetime statistics, kept on your device BUILT FOR REAL GAMES • Advantage, disadvantage and modifiers built in • Create and save your own formulas and macros — fire "Fireball 8d6" or "Longsword 1d20+5" with one tap, grouped by character • A D2 for every call: heads or tails, hit or miss, yes or no, go or stop, attack or defend, success or fail, odd or even • Shake the phone to throw, or tap ROLL — whichever suits the table KNOW THE GAME • A Dice & Games Guide built into the app: 73 game guides covering D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer 40,000, Blades in the Dark, Shadowrun, Vampire, Traveller, Yahtzee, Catan, Craps, Farkle, Backgammon and dozens more • Each one explains which dice the game uses, how a roll resolves, and what the odds actually are — worked out, not hand-waved • Plus the dice themselves: what a D4 is for, how percentile is rolled with two D10s, and where each shape came from • Free, behind no purchase, and every word of it works with no internet connection MAKE IT YOURS • 20 dice materials — steel, marble, wood, liquid-core, frosted glass, neon, galaxy, onyx, ivory, jade, amber, copper, silver, gold and gemstones • 9 table colours plus a custom colour picker, from tavern green to wine, midnight and sand • 7 tray surfaces — felt, wood, stainless steel, ceramic, marble, slate and glass • Hear the material: felt, wood, ceramic, gem and metal impact sounds, each recorded to match • Tune the physics yourself — gravity, bounciness and throw force PLAY TOGETHER • Share a four-letter room code and everyone sees each other's rolls live, in the same room — no accounts, nothing stored • Pass and play on one screen, passing the phone round the table • Push every roll straight to Discord or a virtual tabletop such as Foundry FAIR AND FAST • Every throw is seeded from your device's secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues) — no result is weighted, nudged or re-rolled • Full haptics on collisions and on the result • Dice settle quickly and decisively, with no waiting around • Works offline once loaded, including the whole guide FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Every die type, the whole guide, roll history, statistics and the tavern green table are free — up to four dice a roll — supported by a single banner ad. Premium adds macros and the formula builder, all 20 finishes and table colours, mixed pools, up to 20 dice, the sound and haptic packs, physics tuning, Play Together, Pass and Play and the Discord webhook. Try it free for seven days — no card, no account, nothing to cancel. Every purchase is one payment, never a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Custom Dice Roller at none against Dice Drop's 4. Custom Dice Roller also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
