# Solitaire Classic vs Klondike

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solitaire Classic at 52% against Klondike's 0%. Solitaire Classic also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 1). Klondike's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Classic sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Klondike asks for nothing beyond the download.

Klondike holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Classic has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Solitaire Classic's written reviews are positive against 0% of Klondike's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Solitaire Classic ships an update fortnightly, Klondike every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
