Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rummy at Free against Ultimate 500's $0.99. Rummy also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). Ultimate 500's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
