# Solitaire vs Solitaire ∘

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solitaire ∘ at 51K against Solitaire's 563. Solitaire ∘ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Solitaire's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 66%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 4.7 for Solitaire ∘. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire ∘ has 51K ratings behind it against 563, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 66% of Solitaire ∘'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
