# Map Puzzles vs Sudoku Pro

The clearest difference is price: Map Puzzles at Free against Sudoku Pro's $4.19. Map Puzzles also leads on ratings volume (150 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Sudoku Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Map Puzzles is free to download; Sudoku Pro costs $4.19 up front. Map Puzzles sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Sudoku Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Puzzles has 150 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Map Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sudoku Pro's.

Map Puzzles ships an update every 5 weeks, Sudoku Pro every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
