Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Text Solitaire at Free against Threes!'s $5.99. Text Solitaire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Threes!'s advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 1) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
