Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Asteroid Miner 3D at 4.7 against Tropic Smash's 3.0. Asteroid Miner 3D also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 24) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Tropic Smash's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 14%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tropic Smash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asteroid Miner 3D has 4.4K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Tropic Smash'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.
Tropic Smash ships an update fortnightly, Asteroid Miner 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
