# Binky vs Sudoku Otter

The clearest difference is rating: Sudoku Otter at 5.0 against Binky's 4.5. Sudoku Otter also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 12 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Binky's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Binky sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Sudoku Otter sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sudoku Otter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Binky has 104 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Binky ships an update every 12 months, Sudoku Otter every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
