Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grand Ace at none against Solitaire Nova's 1. Grand Ace also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Solitaire Nova's advantage is ratings volume (7.8K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
