# Mars Miners vs Vacuum Warrior

The clearest difference is ads: Mars Miners at none against Vacuum Warrior's shown. Mars Miners also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Vacuum Warrior's advantage is ratings volume (665 vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars Miners sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Vacuum Warrior sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vacuum Warrior holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vacuum Warrior has 665 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mars Miners's written reviews are positive against 80% of Vacuum Warrior's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mars Miners ships an update every 4 weeks, Vacuum Warrior every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
