Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sudoku by MobilityWare+ at free against Nekograms+'s paid. Sudoku by MobilityWare+ also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 120) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Nekograms+'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (84% vs 70%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sudoku by MobilityWare+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku by MobilityWare+ has 32K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Sudoku by MobilityWare+'s written reviews are positive against 84% of Nekograms+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sudoku by MobilityWare+ ships an update every 3 months, Nekograms+ every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
