Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NumberPlace at none against Sudoku Labs's 1. NumberPlace also leads on iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). Sudoku Labs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
