Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Katana Tone Control at 100% against DICE's 48%. Katana Tone Control also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and device support (4 vs 1). DICE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
