# Fruit Ninja 2 vs Tag with Ryan

The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Ninja 2 at 4.7 against Tag with Ryan's 4.1. Fruit Ninja 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (118K vs 15K). Tag with Ryan's advantage is chart position (#138 vs unranked) and review sentiment (61% vs 52%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fruit Ninja 2 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Tag with Ryan sells 10 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 118K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Fruit Ninja 2's written reviews are positive against 61% of Tag with Ryan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fruit Ninja 2 ships an update every 2 weeks, Tag with Ryan every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
