Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Klondike at monthly against Solitaire Prime's every 3 months. Klondike also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). Solitaire Prime's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
