Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Growth Spurt at none against Sherlock Solitaire's 1. Growth Spurt also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Sherlock Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
