# Dig Master vs Big Battle 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Big Battle 3D at 4.6 against Dig Master's 3.8. Big Battle 3D also leads on ratings volume (38K vs 10). Dig Master's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Battle 3D sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Dig Master asks for nothing beyond the download.

Big Battle 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Battle 3D has 38K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Dig Master's written reviews are positive against 18% of Big Battle 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dig Master ships an update every 6 days, Big Battle 3D every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
