# Sudoku vs Math Solver

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sudoku at weekly against Math Solver's every 14 months. Sudoku also leads on ratings volume (315K vs 3) and chart position (#35 vs unranked). Math Solver's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (67% vs 55%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Math Solver sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Math Solver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 315K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 67% of Math Solver's.

Sudoku ships an update weekly, Math Solver every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
