Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tappy Bird at none against bitSnake's 2. Tappy Bird also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). bitSnake's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
