Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snake at none against Snake FREE's 1. Snake also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (123 vs 7). Snake FREE's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snake FREE sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Snake asks for nothing beyond the download.
Snake holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake has 123 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Snake FREE's written reviews are positive against 70% of Snake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Snake FREE ships an update every 7 months, Snake every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
