# Solitaire vs Solidare

The clearest difference is ads: Solidare at none against Solitaire's shown. Solidare also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solidare sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solidare holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 2.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 100% of Solidare's.

Solitaire ships an update every 2 months, Solidare every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
