Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digger Machine at 79% against Mini Mining's 33%. Digger Machine also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (336 vs 10). Mini Mining's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
