Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Penguin Solitaire at none against Alaska Solitaire's 3. Penguin Solitaire also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.4). Alaska Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
