Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: I Can Dig It at 80% against Paint Dropper's 33%. I Can Dig It also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Paint Dropper's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (36K vs 14). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Paint Dropper holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paint Dropper has 36K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of I Can Dig It's written reviews are positive against 33% of Paint Dropper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
I Can Dig It ships an update every 4 days, Paint Dropper fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
