Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shield Master! at 100% against Mining Master's 23%. Shield Master! also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). Mining Master's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mining Master sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Shield Master! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mining Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mining Master has 3.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shield Master!'s written reviews are positive against 23% of Mining Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shield Master! ships an update every 2 months, Mining Master every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
