Quest Portal vs Roll20

Quest Portal is a virtual tabletop for playing tabletop role-playing games on desktop and mobile devices. Game Masters can build maps and scenes using fog of war, tokens, walls, lighting, measurements, scene controls, and atmospheric music. Campaign chat, collaborative notes, and invitations by link or username support play with others, and campaigns are unlimited. Players can use premade character sheet templates or create no-code sheets for different TTRPG systems. The Game Master Assistant answers rules questions, creates scenes and NPCs, and helps develop campaign ideas. Quest Portal says its iOS and Android apps support the same activities as the web app, and marketplace purchases are available on all three. The Free plan is billed at $0 per month and includes unlimited campaigns and characters, maps and tokens with fog of war, scenes with music, dynamic lighting, and collaborative notes. Pro pricing is not shown. Assistant tasks use credits at varying rates, and PDF imports cost 25 credits each; subscribers can buy credit top-ups.

Roll20 is a browser-based virtual tabletop for playing tabletop roleplaying games and board games online. It supports D&D, Pathfinder, and more than 1,200 game systems, with built-in character sheets for over 250 systems and the option to design your own. The tabletop combines voice and video, live chat, 3D dice, handouts, digital tokens, and effects. Game masters can use Dynamic Lighting and Fog of War, and create maps with Dungeon Scrawl. Macros automate rolls, spell effects, and character actions; extending the service through its API requires Pro. Dungeon Scrawl maps can sync to a Roll20 game page, alongside connected Roll20 Characters and Compendium features. The free tier is available indefinitely and includes base tools, 100MB of storage, and ads. Pro costs $8.33 a month, billed $99.99 pay once a year; Elite costs $12.50 a month, billed $149.99 pay once a year. Chrome and Firefox fully support the VTT.
