# Idle Home vs Asteroid Miner 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Asteroid Miner 3D at 4.7 against Idle Home's 3.6. Asteroid Miner 3D also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 190). Idle Home's advantage is review sentiment (23% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Home sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Asteroid Miner 3D sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Asteroid Miner 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asteroid Miner 3D has 4.4K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Idle Home's written reviews are positive against 14% of Asteroid Miner 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
