Both are free to download. Ground Digger! sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Jello Journey sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Jello Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Ground Digger!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Jello Journey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ground Digger! ships an update every 10 days, Jello Journey every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
