# Tiny Miner vs Arrow War

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Miner at none against Arrow War's shown. Tiny Miner also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Arrow War's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (94% vs 78%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Miner sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Arrow War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow War has 3.9K ratings behind it against 390, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Tiny Miner's written reviews are positive against 94% of Arrow War's.
