# Snake vs Snake Crusher

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snake at 70% against Snake Crusher's 25%. Snake also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Snake Crusher's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snake Crusher sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Snake asks for nothing beyond the download.

Snake Crusher holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snake Crusher has 12K ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Snake's written reviews are positive against 25% of Snake Crusher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Snake ships an update every 2 months, Snake Crusher every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
