Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Surf Attack at none against Mine Tactics's shown. Surf Attack also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Mine Tactics's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 28 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
