# ⋆Solitaire vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solitaire at 95% against ⋆Solitaire's 39%. Solitaire also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). ⋆Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (937K vs 63K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ⋆Solitaire sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⋆Solitaire has 937K ratings behind it against 63K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of ⋆Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 95% of Solitaire's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
