Flip Jacks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flip Jacks is physics-based poker (in AR). In this game, you rely on speed and luck rather than betting and bluffing. For this reason, Flip Jacks can be enjoyed by those who don't like or know anything about poker. The goal of the game is to make a better hand than your opponent by playing or discarding the cards in front of you. The optional AR mode in Flip Jacks allows you to throw digital cards onto any surface in the real world.
Pokabal
Read full descriptionHide full description
Pokabal is a game of poker and solitaire combined. You try to get the best poker hands you can, both horizontally and vertically. While a pair only scores 10 points, a full house will score 40, and a Royal Straight flush will score 100. Both challenging and fun! Possible to play online with a friend. This game is free, but there is an interstitial between games. It is also a promotion of my images. You will see my images on the back of cards, and you may click on cards to enlarge them. Have fun!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flip Jacks at none against Pokabal's 2. Flip Jacks also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Pokabal's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
