Both are free to download. Flapping Bird Arcade sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Snake asks for nothing beyond the download.
Flapping Bird Arcade holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake has 936 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Snake's written reviews are positive against 50% of Flapping Bird Arcade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Snake ships an update every 3 weeks, Flapping Bird Arcade every 76 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
