Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snake Games at none against Snake FREE's 1. Snake Games also leads on ratings volume (218 vs 7). Snake FREE's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 40%) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 91 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
