Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ninihex at none against RetroSolitaire 8bit's shown. Ninihex also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). RetroSolitaire 8bit's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
