Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Last Base at 4.5 against Fossil Dig's 2.7. Last Base also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 23). Fossil Dig's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fossil Dig sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Last Base sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Last Base holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Last Base has 2.2K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Fossil Dig's written reviews are positive against 18% of Last Base's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fossil Dig ships an update every 10 days, Last Base every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
