Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Solvemoji at none against Color Sudoku's shown. Solvemoji also leads on ratings volume (83 vs 10). Color Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solvemoji sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year and Color Sudoku sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
