Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: hexris at none against Sudoku Now!'s 1. hexris also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Sudoku Now!'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
