Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Gnomes Garden Chapter 2 at none against 3D Miner's shown. Gnomes Garden Chapter 2 also leads on ratings volume (105 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 3D Miner's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 17 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
