Pyramid solitaire is a well-known solitaire game. The goal in this game is to remove all cards on the pyramid by pairing the cards which give a sum of 13 points regardless of their suits.

FreeCell Solitaire Now holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FreeCell Solitaire Now has 74 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of FreeCell Solitaire Now's written reviews are positive against 88% of Classic Pyramid Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FreeCell Solitaire Now ships an update every 7 months, Classic Pyramid Solitaire every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
