You've been enrolled in SOLACE — a citizen compliance program designed for your safety. Complete daily directives. Earn merit. Maintain your compliance rating. That's all the system asks. At first, it feels reasonable. Check in. Take a photo. Answer a question. But as the days pass, the directives grow stranger, the surveillance tightens, and the cracks in the system begin to show. AN EVOLVING NARRATIVE Experience a crafted story that unfolds one day at a time. Each day brings new directives, official SOLACE broadcasts, and — if you look closely — intercepted resistance transmissions telling a very different story. DAILY DIRECTIVES Five tasks each day: photo submissions verified by on-device vision AI, AR training exercises, knowledge assessments, location check-ins, and more. Every task earns merit. Every missed day costs it. AUGMENTED REALITY ENCOUNTERS Drones, observers, and checkpoints appear on your real-world map. Approach them to trigger AR encounters with dialogue choices that carry real consequences for your compliance rating. A HIDDEN REBELLION Something is wrong with SOLACE. As the story progresses, a ninth tab emerges — the resistance. Sacrifice your merit, become a double agent, and document what the system doesn't want you to see. 50+ ACHIEVEMENTS Track your dedication across compliance milestones, streak records, surveillance participation, and secret rebellion accomplishments hidden until unlocked. DUAL-CHANNEL ARCHIVES Read daily SOLACE communications alongside rebellion intercepts — two sides of the same story, revealing the truth one broadcast at a time. WIDGETS & MORE Home screen and lock screen widgets keep your compliance visible. Share your Citizen ID card. Detect nearby citizens via Bluetooth. The system is always watching. All data stays on your device. No accounts. No servers. Just you and the program. How long until you stop complying?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shapez at none against Solace One's shown. Shapez also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Solace One's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, 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
Both are free to download. Shapez sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solace One sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Solace One holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shapez has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Shapez ships an update every 5 weeks, Solace One every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
