# Castle Raid! vs Auto Diggers

The clearest difference is rating: Auto Diggers at 4.7 against Castle Raid!'s 4.4. Auto Diggers also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Castle Raid!'s advantage is ratings volume (80K vs 13K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castle Raid! sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Auto Diggers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Auto Diggers holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Castle Raid! has 80K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
