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. Mine Drillers sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Loop Army asks for nothing beyond the download.
Loop Army holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop Army has 35 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Mine Drillers's written reviews are positive against 27% of Loop Army's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mine Drillers ships an update every 3 weeks, Loop Army fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on July 6, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
