# Dig! vs Armor Stride

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Armor Stride at 100% against Dig!'s 36%. Armor Stride also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Dig!'s advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 6) and iOS requirement (5.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dig! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Armor Stride sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Armor Stride holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dig! has 64 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Dig!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Armor Stride's.

Dig! ships an update monthly, Armor Stride fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
