Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sudoku Master+ at none against Stop's 10. Sudoku Master+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). Stop's advantage is ratings volume (106K vs 5) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
