# Miracle Merchant vs Solitaire.com

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solitaire.com at none against Miracle Merchant's 7. Solitaire.com also leads on ratings volume (895K vs 1.7K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Miracle Merchant's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 43%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Miracle Merchant sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Solitaire.com asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solitaire.com holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire.com has 895K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Miracle Merchant's written reviews are positive against 43% of Solitaire.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Miracle Merchant ships an update monthly, Solitaire.com every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
