# Microsoft Solitaire Collection vs Spider Solitaire Go

Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Spider Solitaire Go both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Spider Solitaire Go's written reviews are positive against 36% of Microsoft Solitaire Collection's. Microsoft Solitaire Collection's advantage is ratings volume (257K vs 15) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Go sells 10 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 4.7 for Spider Solitaire Go. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Solitaire Collection has 257K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 36% of Microsoft Solitaire Collection's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spider Solitaire Go's.

Microsoft Solitaire Collection ships an update every 6 weeks, Spider Solitaire Go monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
