# Dig Deep vs Life bubble

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dig Deep at 71% against Life bubble's 37%. Dig Deep also leads on ratings volume (112K vs 3.1K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Life bubble's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dig Deep sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Life bubble sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dig Deep holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
