# Sudoku vs SudokuWorkshop

The clearest difference is ads: SudokuWorkshop at none against Sudoku's shown. SudokuWorkshop also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (222 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SudokuWorkshop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 222 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 100% of SudokuWorkshop's.
