# Full Deck Solitaire vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is update cadence: Full Deck Solitaire at every 9 days against Solitaire's every 5 weeks. Full Deck Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 4.5K). Solitaire's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Full Deck Solitaire sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Solitaire sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. 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 Full Deck Solitaire against 4.6 for Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Full Deck Solitaire has 23K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Full Deck Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 78% of Solitaire's.

Full Deck Solitaire ships an update every 9 days, Solitaire every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
