# Solitaire Game Pack vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solitaire at 28K against Solitaire Game Pack's 25. Solitaire also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Solitaire Game Pack's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 66%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Game Pack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solitaire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire Game Pack holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 28K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Solitaire Game Pack's written reviews are positive against 66% of Solitaire's.

Solitaire Game Pack ships an update every 2 months, Solitaire every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
