Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Blockhunters at none against Dig Down's 1. Blockhunters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 16 months). Dig Down's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
