Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Full Deck Solitaire at 23K against Match Solitaire™'s 2.2K. Match Solitaire™'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (78% vs 68%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
