# Dig vs Skull Up

The clearest difference is ads: Skull Up at none against Dig's shown. Skull Up also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 61) and review sentiment (41% vs 32%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dig sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Skull Up sells 11 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 — 4.6 for Dig against 4.7 for Skull Up. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skull Up has 1.8K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 32% of Dig's written reviews are positive against 41% of Skull Up's.

Dig ships an update every 9 days, Skull Up every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
