Designed by a Solitaire loving Mom and Daughter, Full Deck Solitaire is a beautiful card game with an easy to use user interface. Eight four uniquely different variations of Solitaire not seen in many other games keep even the most seasoned guru occupied.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Full Deck Solitaire at every 10 days against FreeCell Classic's every 4 months. Full Deck Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 3.5K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Full Deck Solitaire sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and FreeCell Classic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Full Deck Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Full Deck Solitaire has 23K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Full Deck Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 71% of FreeCell Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Full Deck Solitaire ships an update every 10 days, FreeCell Classic every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
