# Mini vs Mini Golf Worlds

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mini at none against Mini Golf Worlds's 7. Mini also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Mini Golf Worlds's advantage is ratings volume (229 vs 12) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Golf Worlds sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Mini asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mini Golf Worlds has 229 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Mini's written reviews are positive against 71% of Mini Golf Worlds's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mini ships an update fortnightly, Mini Golf Worlds every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
