Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Citadel Solitaire at none against Same Color 3D's shown. Citadel Solitaire also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Same Color 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
