# ⋅Blackjack vs Blackjack Royal

The clearest difference is ads: Blackjack Royal at none against ⋅Blackjack's shown. Blackjack Royal also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). ⋅Blackjack's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (42K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ⋅Blackjack sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Blackjack Royal sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

⋅Blackjack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⋅Blackjack has 42K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of ⋅Blackjack's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blackjack Royal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

⋅Blackjack ships an update every 6 weeks, Blackjack Royal fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
