# Solitarie vs Solitaire Challenges

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire Challenges at 3.4 against Solitarie's 2.0. Solitaire Challenges also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 13%) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Solitarie's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 40 months) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitarie sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Solitaire Challenges sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire Challenges holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Challenges has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Solitarie's written reviews are positive against 54% of Solitaire Challenges's.

Solitarie ships an update every 2 months, Solitaire Challenges every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
