Verdict
Nerts and Solitaire JD both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Solitaire JD's written reviews are positive against 47% of Nerts's. Solitaire JD also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Nerts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (824 vs 122). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
