# Droppy vs Match Solitaire™

The clearest difference is ads: Droppy at none against Match Solitaire™'s shown. Droppy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Match Solitaire™'s advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 167) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Droppy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Match Solitaire™ sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Droppy against 4.7 for Match Solitaire™. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Solitaire™ has 2.2K ratings behind it against 167, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Droppy's written reviews are positive against 78% of Match Solitaire™'s.
