The clearest difference is rating: DDDigger at 4.8 against Planet Crusher's 4.4. DDDigger also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 1K). Planet Crusher's advantage is chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Planet Crusher sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and DDDigger sells 28 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DDDigger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DDDigger has 18K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Planet Crusher's written reviews are positive against 44% of DDDigger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Planet Crusher ships an update every 2 weeks, DDDigger every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
