Find the one path that makes everything fit. SUMI PATH is a quiet number-path puzzle for iPhone, inspired by washi paper and sumi ink. Three simple rules: • Connect numbers that add up to 10 • Move up, down, left or right; paths cannot cross or share a cell • Fill every cell except obstacles to clear the board Connecting the pairs is only the beginning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SUMI PATH at none against Number Path's 1. SUMI PATH also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
