Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Big Run Solitaire at Free against App Solitaire's $0.99. Big Run Solitaire also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). App Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
