# Fast Canfield vs Solitaire Showtime

The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire Showtime at 4.9 against Fast Canfield's 4.1. Solitaire Showtime also leads on ratings volume (50K vs 89). Fast Canfield's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (70% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire Showtime sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Fast Canfield asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solitaire Showtime holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire Showtime has 50K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Fast Canfield's written reviews are positive against 51% of Solitaire Showtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fast Canfield ships an update monthly, Solitaire Showtime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
