Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 at 4.7 against Mini World's 4.2. Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 also leads on ratings volume (433K vs 8.3K) and chart position (#15 vs unranked). Mini World's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mini World sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 has 433K ratings behind it against 8.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Plants vs. Zombies™ 2's written reviews are positive against 61% of Mini World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Plants vs. Zombies™ 2 ships an update every 6 weeks, Mini World every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
