Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spider Solitaire at none against Solitaire's 3. Spider Solitaire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
