Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Snake at Free against Beat Hazard 2's $4.99. Snake also leads on rating (3.5 vs 3.0). Beat Hazard 2's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Snake holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beat Hazard 2 has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Beat Hazard 2's written reviews are positive against 0% of Snake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Beat Hazard 2 ships an update every 3 weeks, Snake every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
