Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gesture Recognizer Fun at 100% against WordMergeFun's 13%. Gesture Recognizer Fun also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WordMergeFun's advantage is rating (2.4 vs 1.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). 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.
WordMergeFun holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordMergeFun has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Gesture Recognizer Fun's written reviews are positive against 13% of WordMergeFun's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gesture Recognizer Fun ships an update every 5 months, WordMergeFun weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
