# Solitaere vs Solitaire

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solitaere at none against Solitaire's 7. Solitaere also leads on ads (none vs shown). Solitaire's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 48%) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 360). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solitaire sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Solitaere asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Solitaere against 4.6 for Solitaire. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solitaire has 4.5K ratings behind it against 360, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Solitaere's written reviews are positive against 78% of Solitaire's.

Solitaere ships an update every 2 months, Solitaire every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
