# Keep on Mining! vs Outhold

The clearest difference is monetization model: Outhold at free against Keep on Mining!'s paid. Outhold also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (181 vs 31). Keep on Mining!'s advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 70%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Keep on Mining! costs $3.99 and Outhold $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Outhold holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outhold has 181 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Keep on Mining!'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Outhold's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
