Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sudoku ⋅ at 4.6 against Alphametic's 3.5. Sudoku ⋅ also leads on ratings volume (500 vs 2). Alphametic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sudoku ⋅ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Alphametic asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sudoku ⋅ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku ⋅ has 500 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Alphametic's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sudoku ⋅'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Alphametic ships an update every 5 days, Sudoku ⋅ every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
