# Eternal Empire vs DDDigger

The clearest difference is update cadence: DDDigger at every 9 days against Eternal Empire's every 6 weeks. DDDigger also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 863). Eternal Empire's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eternal Empire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and DDDigger sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Eternal Empire against 4.8 for DDDigger. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DDDigger has 18K ratings behind it against 863, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Eternal Empire's written reviews are positive against 44% of DDDigger's.

Eternal Empire ships an update every 6 weeks, DDDigger every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
