Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire Ⓞ at 4.7 against Dr. Solitaire's 3.0. Solitaire Ⓞ also leads on ratings volume (446K vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). Dr. Solitaire's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 68%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solitaire Ⓞ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Ⓞ has 446K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Solitaire Ⓞ's written reviews are positive against 92% of Dr. Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solitaire Ⓞ ships an update every 6 weeks, Dr. Solitaire every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
