# Sudoku ... vs Tiny Step

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Step at none against Sudoku ...'s shown. Tiny Step also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 38%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Sudoku ...'s advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 17). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku ... sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Step sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sudoku ... against 4.4 for Tiny Step. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku ... has 146 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 38% of Sudoku ...'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Tiny Step's.

Sudoku ... ships an update monthly, Tiny Step every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
