# Miner Depths vs DeepDriller

The clearest difference is rating: DeepDriller at 5.0 against Miner Depths's 4.4. DeepDriller also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Miner Depths's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Miner Depths sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and DeepDriller sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DeepDriller holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Miner Depths has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
