Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RetroBox at none against Hyper Sudoku's 3. RetroBox also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hyper Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (18.2 vs 27.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
