# Tiny Connections vs Digs Premium

The clearest difference is price: Tiny Connections at Free against Digs Premium's $4.99. Tiny Connections also leads on ratings volume (610 vs 1). Digs Premium's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Tiny Connections is free to download; Digs Premium costs $4.99 up front. Tiny Connections sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Digs Premium asks for nothing beyond the download.

Digs Premium holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Connections has 610 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Tiny Connections's written reviews are positive against 33% of Digs Premium's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Connections ships an update every 3 weeks, Digs Premium every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
