# Solitaire ∘ vs Solitaire Classic Gold

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solitaire ∘ at 51K against Solitaire Classic Gold's 545. Solitaire ∘ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (66% vs 55%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire ∘ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Solitaire Classic Gold sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Solitaire ∘ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
