Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Snake II at Free against Pixel Snake Classic's $0.99. Snake II also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (41 vs 1). Pixel Snake Classic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On device support there is nothing between them.
