# Blackjack Pure vs Blackjack

Blackjack Pure and Blackjack both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Blackjack's written reviews are positive against 60% of Blackjack Pure's. Blackjack also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Blackjack Pure's advantage is ratings volume (348 vs 12) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blackjack Pure sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Blackjack sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Blackjack Pure against 4.7 for Blackjack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackjack Pure has 348 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Blackjack Pure's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blackjack's.

Blackjack Pure ships an update every 5 weeks, Blackjack fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
