Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Brick Complex at none against Sudoku's shown. Brick Complex also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 25 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
