Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Ninja Classic at 4.7 against Fruit Master's 3.8. Fruit Ninja Classic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 23 months). Fruit Master's advantage is iOS requirement (12.4 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
