Verdict
Subway Surfers and Solitaire· both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 63% of Solitaire·'s. Subway Surfers also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#5 vs unranked). Solitaire·'s advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
