# Solitaire! vs Bubble Shooter

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bubble Shooter at 3.4K against Solitaire!'s 14. Bubble Shooter also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Solitaire!'s advantage is review sentiment (90% vs 69%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bubble Shooter sells 10 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 — 4.6 for Solitaire! against 4.7 for Bubble Shooter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bubble Shooter has 3.4K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Solitaire!'s written reviews are positive against 69% of Bubble Shooter's.

Solitaire! ships an update every 3 months, Bubble Shooter every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
