Both are free to download. Mining Rush sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Idle Miner 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mining Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mining Rush has 784 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Idle Miner 3D's written reviews are positive against 16% of Mining Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Miner 3D ships an update every 11 days, Mining Rush every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
