Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SP!NG at free against Fruit Ninja Classic+'s paid. SP!NG also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 65%) and device support (5 vs 3). Fruit Ninja Classic+'s advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 1K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
