Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Calm Sudoku at Free against Vlobs's $2.99. Calm Sudoku also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Vlobs's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On rating, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
