Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Blackjack at Free against Pocket Blackjack's $0.99. Blackjack also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (333K vs 4). Pocket Blackjack's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Blackjack is free to download; Pocket Blackjack costs $0.99 up front. Blackjack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Pocket Blackjack asks for nothing beyond the download.
Blackjack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackjack has 333K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Blackjack's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pocket Blackjack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blackjack ships an update every 3 weeks, Pocket Blackjack every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
