The clearest difference is rating: Citadel Solitaire at 5.0 against Partners's 3.5. Citadel Solitaire also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Partners's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Partners sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Citadel Solitaire sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
