# Sudoku vs EverSudoku

The clearest difference is ads: EverSudoku at none against Sudoku's shown. EverSudoku also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and EverSudoku sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sudoku against 4.9 for EverSudoku. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 7.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sudoku ships an update every 6 weeks, EverSudoku fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
