Gesture Recognizer Fun is free to download; Tasty Planet costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tasty Planet holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tasty Planet has 86 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Tasty Planet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Gesture Recognizer Fun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
