# Spider . vs Spiderﾠ Solitaire

The clearest difference is ads: Spiderﾠ Solitaire at none against Spider .'s shown. Spider .'s advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 40%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider . sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spiderﾠ Solitaire sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spider . holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider . has 3.9K ratings behind it against 441, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Spider .'s written reviews are positive against 40% of Spiderﾠ Solitaire's.

Spider . ships an update every 5 weeks, Spiderﾠ Solitaire every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
