# Ninja Tobu vs Fruit Ninja 2

Ninja Tobu's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 52%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ninja Tobu sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Fruit Ninja 2 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fruit Ninja 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fruit Ninja 2 has 117K ratings behind it against 260, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Ninja Tobu's written reviews are positive against 52% of Fruit Ninja 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ninja Tobu ships an update every 3 weeks, Fruit Ninja 2 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
