Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SudoDuel at none against Pro Sudoku's 1. SudoDuel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Pro Sudoku's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
