Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pen Dig at 4.6 against Diamond Diggers's 3.0. Pen Dig also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 21). Diamond Diggers's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Pen Dig sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Diamond Diggers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pen Dig holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pen Dig has 3.6K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Pen Dig's written reviews are positive against 33% of Diamond Diggers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pen Dig ships an update monthly, Diamond Diggers every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
