Verdict

The call

Solitaire Pro and Solitaire Nova both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Solitaire Pro's written reviews are positive against 26% of Solitaire Nova's. Solitaire Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Solitaire Nova's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
