# Fruit Ninja® vs Easy Slice

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Easy Slice at none against Fruit Ninja®'s 21. Easy Slice also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%). Fruit Ninja®'s advantage is ratings volume (371K vs 69) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fruit Ninja® sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Easy Slice asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 69, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Fruit Ninja®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Easy Slice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fruit Ninja® ships an update weekly, Easy Slice every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
