Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pyramid holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pyramid has 90 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Pyramid's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pyramid Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pyramid ships an update every 9 months, Pyramid Solitaire every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
