# Solitaire vs Cozy Solitaire

The clearest difference is price: Solitaire at Free against Cozy Solitaire's $1.99. Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 288) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Cozy Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Solitaire is free to download; Cozy Solitaire costs $1.99 up front. Solitaire sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Cozy Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solitaire against 4.7 for Cozy Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 4.5K ratings behind it against 288, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 90% of Cozy Solitaire's.

Solitaire ships an update every 5 weeks, Cozy Solitaire every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
