Both are free to download. Fossil Dig sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Aqua Cleaner 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Aqua Cleaner 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aqua Cleaner 3D has 892 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 5% of Aqua Cleaner 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fossil Dig ships an update every 10 days, Aqua Cleaner 3D fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
