Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pieceful Puzzles at none against Sudoku Epic's 1. Pieceful Puzzles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Sudoku Epic's advantage is ratings volume (411 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
