Solitaire Ocean's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 34%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fishdom sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Solitaire Ocean sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
