Verdict

The call

Solitaire Classic and Solitaire both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 52% of Solitaire Classic's. Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 2.7K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Classic sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Solitaire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solitaire Classic against 4.6 for Solitaire.
