Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Classic Solitaire at 4.1 against Solitaire's 3.0. Classic Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 28). Solitaire's advantage is iOS requirement (11.2 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Classic Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Classic Solitaire has 3.5K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Solitaire's written reviews are positive against 28% of Classic Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
