# Fruit Ninja® vs 开心消消乐®

Fruit Ninja® and 开心消消乐® both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Fruit Ninja®'s written reviews are positive against 35% of 开心消消乐®'s. Fruit Ninja® also leads on ratings volume (371K vs 2.4K) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fruit Ninja® sells 20 one-off in-app purchases 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.
