Play FreeCell. Options provided to change background pictures, change card appearance, have cards fly up to the suit stacks on their own or manually. Instructions included in the app. Ads appear unobtrusively on the top of the screen but don't interfere with gameplay. GOAL: Uncover cards so they can be moved in ascending order to the 4 suit stacks. SETUP: A standard deck is dealt in 8 cascading stacks. HOW TO PLAY: Move cards between the 8 cascading stacks and 4 free cells to uncover cards so you can move them up to complete the suit stacks. You can only move the top card of a cascading stack or a card in a free cell. A card can be moved to an empty free cell; to the top of another cascading stack with top card of different color and one higher value; or to one of 4 suit stacks in ascending order from Ace to King. For example, 3 of clubs can be moved to a cascading stack with top card 4 of hearts. Any value card can be moved to an empty free cell or empty cascading stack. MOVING CARDS: Tapping a card once will move it to a suit stack if a spot is available or to a pile with available higher card of different color. Double-tapping a card will move it to an open free cell. Alternatively, you can simply drag a card to where you want it to go. If an attempted move is not allowed, the card will shake. NOTES: You can reject a new hand that looks too difficult by clicking New Game again. If you click New Game before moving any cards, the game will not count as a loss. Click Undo to undo one move at a time, or Start Over to undo all moves in the current game.

The Accessible Solitaire app has been designed to provide a fun experience for all players. For players who are blind or partially sighted, the iOS VoiceOver screen reader announces details of the playing cards as you move through the game, and the app includes several in-app features to help make the contents of the cards easier to see. Using speech at the game together with the iOS Voice Access feature, or using a switch device together with the iOS Switch Access feature, means can all playing cards can be moved around the game using either speech or a switch. A short video showing the Accessible Solitaire games being played on an iPad mini with VoiceOver, Voice Control and Switch Control, is at: https://youtu.be/VKanx3K_4zA. First in the Klondike Solitaire game, a card is moved using the VoiceOver screen reader. After the move is complete, VoiceOver announces available moves in the game. Then VoiceOver is turned off, Voice Control is turned on, and a card is moved using voice input. Then Voice Control is turn off, Switch Control is turned on, and a card is moved using an Xbox Adaptive Controller. Then still using Switch Control, the app moves to a game of Pyramid Solitaire, and a card is discarded from the pyramid using the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Then Switch Control is turned off, Voice Control is turned on and cards are discarded from the pyramid using voice input. Then Voice Control is turned off, VoiceOver is turned on, and the game play continues using VoiceOver. After a move is completed, VoiceOver announces available moves in the game.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Accessible Solitaire at 100% against FreeCell's 50%. Accessible Solitaire also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). FreeCell's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
