# Snake Classic vs Diamond Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Diamond Quest at 4.5 against Snake Classic's 3.3. Diamond Quest also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (653 vs 4). Snake Classic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Diamond Quest sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Snake Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.

Diamond Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diamond Quest has 653 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Snake Classic's written reviews are positive against 71% of Diamond Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Snake Classic ships an update every 12 months, Diamond Quest weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
