# Safari vs Fossil Dig

The clearest difference is price: Fossil Dig at Free against Safari's $2.99. Fossil Dig also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (19% vs 0%). Safari's advantage is rating (3.5 vs 2.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Fossil Dig is free to download; Safari costs $2.99 up front. Fossil Dig sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Safari asks for nothing beyond the download.

Safari holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fossil Dig has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Safari's written reviews are positive against 19% of Fossil Dig's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Safari ships an update every 7 months, Fossil Dig every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
