Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire Nova at 4.7 against Solitaire Minute's 4.2. Solitaire Nova also leads on ratings volume (7.3K vs 21) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Solitaire Minute's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (61% vs 26%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Both are free to download. Solitaire Minute sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Solitaire Nova sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Solitaire Nova holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Nova has 7.3K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Solitaire Minute's written reviews are positive against 26% of Solitaire Nova's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Solitaire Minute ships an update every 6 weeks, Solitaire Nova fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
