Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: AR Mahjong+ at none against Sudoku's shown. AR Mahjong+ also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Sudoku's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
