Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Solitaire at every 3 weeks against Solitaire∙'s every 2 months. Solitaire also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 6.7K). Solitaire∙'s advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 66%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
