# Aeon's End vs Sherlock Solitaire

The clearest difference is price: Sherlock Solitaire at Free against Aeon's End's $12.99. Sherlock Solitaire also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Aeon's End's advantage is chart position (#115 vs unranked) and ratings volume (44 vs 6). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Sherlock Solitaire is free to download; Aeon's End costs $12.99 up front. Aeon's End sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Sherlock Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sherlock Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aeon's End has 44 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Aeon's End's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sherlock Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Aeon's End ships an update every 2 months, Sherlock Solitaire fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
