# Solitaire ∘ vs Solitaire 3 Arena

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solitaire ∘ at 51K against Solitaire 3 Arena's 597. Solitaire ∘ also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Solitaire 3 Arena's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, 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 3 Arena sells 7 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. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire ∘ has 51K ratings behind it against 597, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Solitaire ∘'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Solitaire 3 Arena's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
