# Pokémon GO vs Snake

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snake at none against Pokémon GO's 30. Snake also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pokémon GO's advantage is chart position (#1 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pokémon GO sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Snake asks for nothing beyond the download.
