Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Miner Master at none against HappyStone's 1. Miner Master also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months). HappyStone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
