Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Master Miner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Trash Collector sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Trash Collector holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trash Collector has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Master Miner's written reviews are positive against 0% of Trash Collector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Master Miner ships an update every 5 days, Trash Collector every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
