Verdict

The call

Dig Deep and Miner Tycoon both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Dig Deep's written reviews are positive against 33% of Miner Tycoon's. Dig Deep also leads on ratings volume (112K vs 12K) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). Miner Tycoon's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
