Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Binary Sudoku+ at 4.8 against Sembl's 4.2. Binary Sudoku+ also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (192 vs 21). Sembl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 40%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sembl sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Binary Sudoku+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Binary Sudoku+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Binary Sudoku+ has 192 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Sembl's written reviews are positive against 40% of Binary Sudoku+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sembl ships an update every 3 weeks, Binary Sudoku+ every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
