# Planet Crusher vs DDDigger

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.

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.

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.

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