# Candy Cup! vs Solitaire Sort

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solitaire Sort at none against Candy Cup!'s 2. Solitaire Sort also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.7). Candy Cup!'s advantage is ratings volume (183 vs 19) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Candy Cup! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Solitaire Sort asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solitaire Sort holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candy Cup! has 183 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Candy Cup!'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Solitaire Sort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Candy Cup! ships an update every 6 weeks, Solitaire Sort every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
