Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sudoku at 4.8 against Cat Tapper's 4.0. Sudoku also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Cat Tapper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sudoku holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 17K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cat Tapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
