# Black Solitaire vs Match Jam 3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Black Solitaire at 89% against Match Jam 3D's 47%. Black Solitaire also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). Match Jam 3D's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Black Solitaire sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Match Jam 3D sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Match Jam 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Jam 3D has 19K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Black Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 47% of Match Jam 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Black Solitaire ships an update every 2 months, Match Jam 3D weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
