Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crash Castles at 5.0 against Dig Odyssey's 3.4. Dig Odyssey's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Dig Odyssey sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Crash Castles sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Crash Castles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dig Odyssey has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Dig Odyssey ships an update weekly, Crash Castles every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
