# ⋆Solitaire vs Solitaire．

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solitaire． at none against ⋆Solitaire's 6. Solitaire． also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 40%). ⋆Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (937K vs 11K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ⋆Solitaire sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Solitaire． asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ⋆Solitaire against 4.6 for Solitaire．. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⋆Solitaire has 937K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of ⋆Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 69% of Solitaire．'s.

⋆Solitaire ships an update fortnightly, Solitaire． every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
