# Solitaire vs Solitaire

Solitaire and Solitaire both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 54% of Solitaire's. Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (2.1M vs 252K) and chart position (#10 vs #61). 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 Solitaire 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 Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 2.1M ratings behind it against 252K, 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 87% of Solitaire's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
