Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beanbound at none against Fruit Merge Drop's shown. Beanbound also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). Fruit Merge Drop's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fruit Merge Drop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fruit Merge Drop has 3.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Fruit Merge Drop's written reviews are positive against 100% of Beanbound's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fruit Merge Drop ships an update every 5 weeks, Beanbound every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
