# No Ads Solitaire vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is ads: No Ads Solitaire at none against Solitaire's shown. No Ads Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 270). Solitaire's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. No Ads 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for No Ads Solitaire against 4.4 for Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: No Ads Solitaire has 11K ratings behind it against 270, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of No Ads Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 71% of Solitaire's.

No Ads Solitaire ships an update every 2 months, Solitaire every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
