    DiceCloud only tracks some character sheet details; Roll20 offers all sorts of tools to assist gameplay, from handout tracking and sound effects board to featureful tabletop simulation and all sorts of aids for gameplay mechanics, from ability and skill checks, to combat rolls, and even spell casting… these two tools are not remotely comparable.
