# Solitaire vs Solitaire

Solitaire and Solitaire both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 94% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 54% of Solitaire's. Solitaire also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (2.1M vs 3.2K) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 2 one-off in-app purchases. 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 4.7 for Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 2.1M ratings behind it against 3.2K, 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 94% of Solitaire's.

Solitaire ships an update every 5 weeks, Solitaire every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
