Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Savage Sudoku at Free against Cozy Solitaire's $1.99. Savage Sudoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). Cozy Solitaire's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 8) and chart position (#24 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
