Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Snake II at 5.0 against Python's 3.9. Snake II also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Python's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Python sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Snake II sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Snake II holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Python has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Python's written reviews are positive against 78% of Snake II's.
Python ships an update fortnightly, Snake II every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
