Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Merge Fruit at none against Stack's 18. Merge Fruit also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 53%). Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (59K vs 221). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
