# *Solitaire* vs Solitaire ◆

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire ◆ at 4.6 against *Solitaire*'s 3.3. Solitaire ◆ also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 55) and review sentiment (79% vs 55%). *Solitaire*'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. *Solitaire* sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solitaire ◆ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire ◆ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire ◆ has 5K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of *Solitaire*'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Solitaire ◆'s.

*Solitaire* ships an update every 9 days, Solitaire ◆ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
