Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. King's Path Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Close Cities sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Close Cities holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Close Cities has 356 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of King's Path Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 69% of Close Cities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
