# Cookie Clickers 2 vs Mini Mine

The clearest difference is rating: Cookie Clickers 2 at 4.6 against Mini Mine's 4.1. Cookie Clickers 2 also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 143) and review sentiment (82% vs 73%). Mini Mine's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cookie Clickers 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mini Mine sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
