# Dinokeeper vs Jurassic Dig

The clearest difference is rating: Dinokeeper at 4.8 against Jurassic Dig's 4.2. Dinokeeper also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Jurassic Dig's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 60 months) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jurassic Dig sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dinokeeper asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dinokeeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jurassic Dig has 4.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Dinokeeper's written reviews are positive against 64% of Jurassic Dig's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dinokeeper ships an update every 60 months, Jurassic Dig every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
