# Miracle Sudoku vs OneUpPuzzle

The clearest difference is rating: Miracle Sudoku at 4.8 against OneUpPuzzle's 3.8. Miracle Sudoku also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 21) and device support (3 vs 1). OneUpPuzzle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Miracle Sudoku costs $4.99 and OneUpPuzzle $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Miracle Sudoku holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Miracle Sudoku has 117 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Miracle Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 74% of OneUpPuzzle's.

Miracle Sudoku ships an update every 6 months, OneUpPuzzle every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
