Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ▻Sudoku + at none against Cozy Solitaire's 1. ▻Sudoku + also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 297) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Cozy Solitaire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On rating, review sentiment, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
