Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sudoku at 4.7 against Stock Chart Simulator's 3.5. Sudoku also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 2). Stock Chart Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Stock Chart Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
