Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Doku Lite at every 13 months against Sudokunu's every 42 months. Doku Lite also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.6). Sudokunu's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
