# Blackjack with Odds vs Shoe

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Blackjack with Odds at 40 against Shoe's 1. Blackjack with Odds also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Shoe's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blackjack with Odds sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Shoe sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shoe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blackjack with Odds has 40 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
