Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spider Solitaire at none against Solitarie's 3. Spider Solitaire also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Solitarie's advantage is device support (5 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
