Zsh, 13 bytes, score \$ \approx 10^{(21 \times 10^6)} \$, cracked by lynn

tr<=go -c 9 9

Outputs 13061918 9s. Try it online!

tr<=z3 -c 1 1

Outputs 21366224 1s. Try it online!

Exact score:

$$ \frac{10^{21366225} - 1}9 - 10^{13061919} + 1 $$


Explanation

The other program is similar.

z3 and go are the largest 2-character programs available on TIO, at about 22MB and 14MB respectively. We can use them as an easy source of very long "strings", and by converting all the bytes to digits, very large numbers.

I used TIO instead of ATO because it has much bigger binaries available, and also because ATO is too frequently updated, changing the binaries, so the score would change over time.

I'm not intending for this to be cracked, but I haven't tried very hard to ensure there aren't any cracks.

PHP4, score ≈ 0.011 × 10^1000

Program 1 (23 chars) output 999 times 9 :

echo str_repeat(9,999);

Program 2 (23 chars) output 999 times 8 :

echo str_repeat(8,999);

Output of both PHP4 scripts is a 999 digits integer in decimal form.

var_dump(chop($out_1, '0..9') === ''); // bool(true)
var_dump(chop($out_2, '0..9') === ''); // bool(true)

BC Math is only available if PHP was configured with --enable-bcmath, by default there is not.

=FACT(144)

But... if you think it's okay if I can use un-printable numbers (likely not)

These both output really big numbers, which I need to calculate. Online edition here means that it should be able to work on the online version of the interpreter if given enough resources and time.
