# Crowd City vs Dig Deep

Crowd City and Dig Deep both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Dig Deep's written reviews are positive against 50% of Crowd City's. Dig Deep also leads on iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). Crowd City's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (1M vs 111K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crowd City sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Dig Deep sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Crowd City against 4.7 for Dig Deep. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crowd City has 1M ratings behind it against 111K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Crowd City's written reviews are positive against 71% of Dig Deep's.

Crowd City ships an update fortnightly, Dig Deep every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
