Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pen Dig at 4.6 against Big Punch!'s 3.2. Pen Dig also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 27) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Big Punch!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (40% vs 11%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pen Dig sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Big Punch! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pen Dig holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pen Dig has 3.6K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Pen Dig's written reviews are positive against 40% of Big Punch!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pen Dig ships an update monthly, Big Punch! every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
