Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solitaire Game Pack at 81% against Puzzly's 41%. Solitaire Game Pack also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Puzzly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
