The clearest difference is rating: Merge Snake!! at 4.8 against Python.io's 3.8. Merge Snake!! also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 0%) and ratings volume (881 vs 28). Python.io's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 10.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
