Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Deep Town at 4.8 against Mini Mine's 4.1. Deep Town also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 143). Mini Mine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Mine sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Deep Town sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
