Pokabal

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: Deck 21 at none against Pokabal's 2. Deck 21 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
