# Digfender vs Redbros

The clearest difference is ads: Redbros at none against Digfender's shown. Redbros also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Digfender's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 35). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digfender sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Redbros sells 10 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 — 4.7 for Digfender against 4.7 for Redbros. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digfender has 1K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Digfender's written reviews are positive against 95% of Redbros's.

Digfender ships an update every 4 months, Redbros every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
