Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solitaire at 4.7 against Cards's 3.2. Solitaire also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Cards's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
