スパイダーソリティアを探索と思考に集中できるように作りました。レーンのドラッグでも移動できる、セーブ＆ロードで別の手を打った場合を試しやすい、一旦表にしたカードはundoしても表のままなので覚えなくても大丈夫、直近50戦の勝敗で自分の傾向がわかる、などの特徴があります。無料ですが、クリアしたらコーヒーを奢ってくれると嬉しいです。

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SpiderSolitaireExplorer at none against Close Cities's shown. SpiderSolitaireExplorer also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Close Cities's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
