Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire at 4.8 against .Solitaire!'s 4.6. Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (652K vs 196K) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). .Solitaire!'s advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 652K and 196K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 84% of .Solitaire!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Solitaire ships an update every 3 weeks, .Solitaire! every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
