Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Klondike at Free against CardsAlone's $0.99. Klondike also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). CardsAlone's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
