# Solitaire Zen vs Match Tile Decor

The clearest difference is rating: Match Tile Decor at 4.8 against Solitaire Zen's 4.1. Match Tile Decor also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 9). Solitaire Zen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (80% vs 68%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Match Tile Decor sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Solitaire Zen asks for nothing beyond the download.

Match Tile Decor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Match Tile Decor has 1.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Solitaire Zen's written reviews are positive against 68% of Match Tile Decor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Solitaire Zen ships an update every 7 months, Match Tile Decor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
