Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ⋆Spider Solitaire at 283K against Spider Solitaire ∙'s 3.4K. ⋆Spider Solitaire also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Spider Solitaire ∙'s advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ⋆Spider Solitaire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spider Solitaire ∙ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

⋆Spider Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ⋆Spider Solitaire has 283K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of ⋆Spider Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 57% of Spider Solitaire ∙'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

⋆Spider Solitaire ships an update monthly, Spider Solitaire ∙ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
