Verdict

The call

Sudoku ′ No ads and Solver both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Sudoku ′ No ads's written reviews are positive against 17% of Solver's. Sudoku ′ No ads also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (29K vs 1). Solver's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku ′ No ads has 29K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Sudoku ′ No ads's written reviews are positive against 17% of Solver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sudoku ′ No ads ships an update every 2 months, Solver every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
