# Solitaire vs Solitaire Ocean

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solitaire at 100% against Solitaire Ocean's 49%. Solitaire also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). Solitaire Ocean's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Ocean sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Solitaire asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solitaire Ocean holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Ocean has 2.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 49% of Solitaire Ocean's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Solitaire ships an update every 4 months, Solitaire Ocean every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
