Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Solitaire at every 2 weeks against The Solitaire App's every 3 months. Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 65) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). The Solitaire App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and The Solitaire App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Solitaire against 4.6 for The Solitaire App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 35K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Solitaire App's.
Solitaire ships an update every 2 weeks, The Solitaire App every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
