Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Dune and Dusted sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Train Digger sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Train Digger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Train Digger has 519 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Dune and Dusted's written reviews are positive against 0% of Train Digger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dune and Dusted ships an update monthly, Train Digger every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
