# Sudoku vs Logic Sudoku

The clearest difference is ads: Logic Sudoku at none against Sudoku's shown. Logic Sudoku also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 184) and review sentiment (65% vs 48%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Logic Sudoku sells 2 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 — 4.7 for Sudoku against 4.6 for Logic Sudoku. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 59K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 48% of Logic Sudoku's.

Sudoku ships an update monthly, Logic Sudoku every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
