# slither.io vs Snake VS Block

The clearest difference is rating: Snake VS Block at 4.5 against slither.io's 3.8. Snake VS Block also leads on ratings volume (599K vs 3K). slither.io's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 38%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. slither.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Snake VS Block sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Snake VS Block holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake VS Block has 599K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of slither.io's written reviews are positive against 38% of Snake VS Block's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

slither.io ships an update weekly, Snake VS Block every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
