Play Mathdoku now! As in Sudoku, the goal of each puzzle is to fill a grid with digits so that no digit appears more than once in any row or any column (a Latin square). Grids size is 9ร9. Additionally, KenKen grids are divided into heavily outlined groups of cells โโ often called โcagesโ โโ and the numbers in the cells of each cage must produce a certain โtargetโ number when combined using a specified mathematical operation (either addition, subtraction, multiplication or division). For example, a linear three-cell cage specifying addition and a target number of 6 in a 4ร4 puzzle must be satisfied with the digits 1, 2, and 3. Digits may be repeated within a cage, as long as they are not in the same row or column. No operation is relevant for a single-cell cage: placing the "target" in the cell is the only possibility (thus being a "free space"). The target number and operation appear in the upper left-hand corner of the cage. The objective is to fill the grid in with the digits 1 through 9 such that: Each row contains exactly one of each digit Each column contains exactly one of each digit Each bold-outlined group of cells is a cage containing digits which achieve the specified result using the specified mathematical operation: addition (+), subtraction (โ), multiplication (ร), and division (รท). Some of the techniques from Sudoku and Killer Sudoku can be used here, but much of the process involves the listing of all the possible options and eliminating the options one by one as other information requires.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cagedoku at none against Mathdoku's shown. Cagedoku also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). Mathdoku's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
