Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Solitaire* at none against Drop Merge®'s 11. Solitaire* also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Drop Merge®'s advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
