# Solitaire· vs Solitaire

Solitaire· and Solitaire both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 63% of Solitaire·'s. Solitaire·'s advantage is ratings volume (711K vs 49K) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire· sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Solitaire sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solitaire· against 4.7 for Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire· has 711K ratings behind it against 49K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Solitaire·'s written reviews are positive against 95% of Solitaire's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
