Both are free to download. Cannon Survive sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Cutting Run! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cannon Survive holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannon Survive has 255 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Cutting Run!'s written reviews are positive against 10% of Cannon Survive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
