Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Penguin Solitaire at Free against Bezique's $1.99. Penguin Solitaire also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Bezique's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
