# Solitarie vs Simple Spider

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Spider at 2.7 against Solitarie's 2.0. Simple Spider also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Solitarie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitarie sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Simple Spider asks for nothing beyond the download.

Simple Spider holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Spider has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Solitarie's written reviews are positive against 0% of Simple Spider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Solitarie ships an update every 2 months, Simple Spider every 16 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
