# Solitaire vs Spider Solitaire ・2026

Solitaire and Spider Solitaire ・2026 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Spider Solitaire ・2026's written reviews are positive against 54% of Solitaire's. Spider Solitaire ・2026 also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (2.1M vs 70K) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Spider Solitaire ・2026 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 4.8 for Spider Solitaire ・2026. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 2.1M ratings behind it against 70K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 89% of Spider Solitaire ・2026's.

Solitaire ships an update every 5 weeks, Spider Solitaire ・2026 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
