Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sudoku Tutor at none against Sudoku Kaidoku's 1. Sudoku Tutor also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Sudoku Kaidoku's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
