Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fruit Ninja® sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fruit Ninja® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fruit Ninja® has 371K ratings behind it against 59K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Fruit Ninja®'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Stack's.
Fruit Ninja® ships an update weekly, Stack every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
