Pixel Miner is a free idle mining clicker with no ads. Your miner digs on his own, pixels fill the pocket, and when the pocket is full the mine waits for you: come back, collect, upgrade, dig deeper. Formerly known as Dig Too Deep. HOW IT PLAYS - Idle mining: the miner keeps digging while the app is closed. Offline progress fills your pocket. - Hard-capped pocket: when it is full, mining stops. Short check-ins, real decisions, no endless overflow. - Upgrades: 12 tools from Hammer to Black Hole, speed multipliers, 10 pocket sizes. - Prestige: reach the core, reset the run, earn Crystals, build a permanent base. - Six planets: Earth, Moon, Mars, Europa, the Sun and an endless Black Hole, each with its own trade-offs. - Ascension: a second prestige layer that earns Star Dust for permanent upgrades. - Treasures, caves, challenges, achievements and active abilities on top of the incremental loop. RETRO CRT LOOK Pixel art with scanlines and a palette borrowed from the Amiga and ZX Spectrum era. NO ADS Nothing to watch, ever. The whole game is free. One optional purchase, the Miner's License, doubles your pocket and adds 10% pixels. No subscriptions. Optimized for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
Deep Dig

Deep Dig is an idle mining game built around one addictive question: will THIS tap be the big one? TAP TO DIG Smash through rock with every tap. Land a critical hit and a lamp lights up — one more tap, and you break into a high-odds chain zone where crits can keep coming, tap after tap after tap. UPGRADE YOUR RIG Pour coins into Drill Power and Auto-Driller to dig faster, even while you are away. CORE UPGRADES + NEW GAME+ Reach the planet's core and earn permanent Cores, then start a fresh run with your upgrades carried over. Stack enough Cores across runs and your rig only gets stronger. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Fully translated into English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. This release covers Stage 1 — dig from the surface all the way down to 500m. Deeper stages, new ore, and more content are already in the works. Free to play, no purchase required. Optional video ads offer bonuses like stamina refills and coin boosts, entirely up to you. Start tapping. See how deep you can go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deep Dig at none against Pixel Miner's 1. Deep Dig also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Pixel Miner's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
