# Space Bound vs Mine Rush

The clearest difference is rating: Mine Rush at 4.6 against Space Bound's 4.3. Mine Rush also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 29%) and ratings volume (3.4K vs 486). Space Bound's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Bound sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Mine Rush sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mine Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3.
