# Colossatron vs Fruit Ninja 2

The clearest difference is rating: Fruit Ninja 2 at 4.7 against Colossatron's 3.5. Fruit Ninja 2 also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Colossatron's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colossatron sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Fruit Ninja 2 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fruit Ninja 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fruit Ninja 2 has 117K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Colossatron's written reviews are positive against 52% of Fruit Ninja 2's.

Colossatron ships an update every 2 months, Fruit Ninja 2 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
