Verdict

The call

FreeCell· and Card Solitaire Z both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Card Solitaire Z's written reviews are positive against 54% of FreeCell·'s. Card Solitaire Z also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). FreeCell·'s advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 6).
