Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Ninja 2 at 4.7 against Temple Run 2's 4.5. Fruit Ninja 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Temple Run 2's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 52%) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temple Run 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Fruit Ninja 2 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fruit Ninja 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 496K and 117K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Temple Run 2's written reviews are positive against 52% of Fruit Ninja 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Temple Run 2 ships an update monthly, Fruit Ninja 2 every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
