Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Spider Solitaire at none against Simple's shown. Spider Solitaire also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Simple's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (49 vs 9). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Simple holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple has 49 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Simple's written reviews are positive against 50% of Spider Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simple ships an update every 5 months, Spider Solitaire every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
