Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HITORI+ at none against Sudoku Variants's 7. HITORI+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Sudoku Variants's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
