Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ranger Runners at 71% against Dig's 32%. Ranger Runners also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Dig's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Ranger Runners

From 327 App Store ratings

What we love

  • 🚀 Tons of content and things to do
  • 💰 Constantly gives out freemium currency
  • 🙌 Zero ads, reasonable paid options and while plenty of paid bonuses it doesn't overly remind player to buy
  • 💪 Many ways to get stronger other than unit growth or gear
  • 🔑 Multiple ways to get the best units in the game

Room to improve

  • 🔒 11 duplicates to max lvl a unit
  • ⚠️ New OP unit is time limited and ONLY acquired through it's own event and currently not guaranteed to return, free players will be lucky to get even 4 copies
  • 🔍 Light and Dark units are clearly better than the rest even within their own ranks
  • 💰 Monthly packs are cheap but too abundant, there's like 10+ monthly packs for completely different things
  • 🔤 Username is limited to 7 characters
