# Full Deck Solitaire vs Solitaire Master

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Full Deck Solitaire at 23K against Solitaire Master's 123. Full Deck Solitaire also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). Solitaire Master's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (13.0 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 Master sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
