# Solitaire Classic ◆ vs Solitaire

Solitaire Classic ◆ and Solitaire both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Solitaire Classic ◆'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Solitaire's. Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (259K vs 2.4K) and chart position (#169 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Classic ◆ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solitaire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 259K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Solitaire Classic ◆'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
