# DDDigger vs Feed the Deep

The clearest difference is ads: Feed the Deep at none against DDDigger's shown. Feed the Deep also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (73% vs 44%). DDDigger's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 385). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DDDigger sells 28 one-off in-app purchases and Feed the Deep sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 DDDigger against 4.7 for Feed the Deep. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DDDigger has 18K ratings behind it against 385, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of DDDigger's written reviews are positive against 73% of Feed the Deep's.
