Both are free to download. Diamond Diggers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Craft Drill sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Craft Drill holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft Drill has 130 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Diamond Diggers's written reviews are positive against 29% of Craft Drill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Diamond Diggers ships an update every 6 months, Craft Drill every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
