Mine, build, and upgrade your way to freedom...Again! You've, once again, been kidnapped by the evil Mars Corp. and forced to mine for pieces of an ancient artifact buried deep below the surface of six different planets. Finding all of the pieces of the artifact is your ticket back to Earth. You will find many valuable gems and ores along the way that can be sold at the shop to buy more supplies and better equipment to allow you to mine deeper. Make sure you have enough supplies to get back out of the mine! Every mine is randomly generated. No game is ever the same! Music: www.bensound.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mars Miner 2 at none against Space Bound's shown. Mars Miner 2 also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Space Bound's advantage is ratings volume (487 vs 73). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars Miner 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Space Bound sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Mars Miner 2 against 4.3 for Space Bound.
