Both are free to download. Fruit Ninja Classic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 开心消消乐® sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Fruit Ninja Classic against 4.6 for 开心消消乐®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fruit Ninja Classic has 27K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
