Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Minesweeper at none against Shape Sudoku's 1. Minesweeper also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Shape Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
