Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Snake Games at 3.8 against Original Classic Snake's 2.8. Snake Games also leads on ratings volume (211 vs 5). Original Classic Snake's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 91 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.
Snake Games holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake Games has 211 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Original Classic Snake's written reviews are positive against 40% of Snake Games's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Original Classic Snake ships an update every 10 days, Snake Games every 91 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
