Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SigilShift at free against MultiSudoku's free with in-app purchases. MultiSudoku's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 3) and device support. On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiSudoku sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and SigilShift sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SigilShift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiSudoku has 2.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
