Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mastermine at 73% against Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's 27%. Mastermine also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's advantage is ratings volume (66K vs 117) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.19 per year and Mastermine sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb has 66K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's written reviews are positive against 73% of Mastermine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb ships an update every 3 months, Mastermine every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
