Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spider Solitaire at Free against Solitaire Anytime's $0.99. Spider Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (927 vs 3) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Solitaire Anytime's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spider Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider Solitaire has 927 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Spider Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 100% of Solitaire Anytime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spider Solitaire ships an update every 5 weeks, Solitaire Anytime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
