Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper· at none against Rune Sweeper's 1. Minesweeper· also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Rune Sweeper's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
