Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sudoku ᅠ at none against Pro Sudoku's shown. Sudoku ᅠ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pro Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Sudoku sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sudoku ᅠ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
