Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: hocus. at 87% against Solitaire Collection's 33%. hocus. also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (234 vs 31). Solitaire Collection's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
hocus. costs $1.99 and Solitaire Collection $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Solitaire Collection holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: hocus. has 234 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of hocus.'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Solitaire Collection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
hocus. ships an update every 5 weeks, Solitaire Collection every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
