# Mini Mining vs Frontline

The clearest difference is rating: Frontline at 4.5 against Mini Mining's 2.3. Frontline also leads on ratings volume (551 vs 10). Mini Mining's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mini Mining sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Frontline sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Frontline holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frontline has 551 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Mini Mining's written reviews are positive against 37% of Frontline's.
