# Solitaire Pal vs Rusti

The clearest difference is ads: Rusti at none against Solitaire Pal's shown. Rusti also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Solitaire Pal's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Pal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rusti sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Solitaire Pal against 5.0 for Rusti. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Pal has 2.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Solitaire Pal ships an update every 4 months, Rusti every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
