# Dig! vs Professor Bubble

The clearest difference is rating: Professor Bubble at 4.2 against Dig!'s 3.4. Dig!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Professor Bubble holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dig! has 64 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dig! ships an update monthly, Professor Bubble every 11 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
