# Mini Mine vs BlackSun Net

The clearest difference is rating: BlackSun Net at 5.0 against Mini Mine's 4.1. Mini Mine's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (143 vs 3). On price, ads, 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 BlackSun Net sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BlackSun Net holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Mine has 143 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
