# Full Deck Solitaire vs Match Solitaire™

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Full Deck Solitaire at 23K against Match Solitaire™'s 2.2K. Match Solitaire™'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (78% vs 68%). 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 Match Solitaire™ sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. 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 4.7 for Match Solitaire™. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Full Deck Solitaire has 23K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
