# Microsoft Solitaire Collection vs Spider Solitaire Fun

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Microsoft Solitaire Collection at 254K against Spider Solitaire Fun's 2.9K. Microsoft Solitaire Collection also leads on chart position (#145 vs unranked). Spider Solitaire Fun's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Microsoft Solitaire Collection sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Spider Solitaire Fun sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Microsoft Solitaire Collection against 4.6 for Spider Solitaire Fun. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Solitaire Collection has 254K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of Microsoft Solitaire Collection's written reviews are positive against 34% of Spider Solitaire Fun's.
