Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Melty Bubble holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Melty Bubble has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Drop Thorns's written reviews are positive against 46% of Melty Bubble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
