# Sudoku Epic vs 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sudoku Epic at 90% against 2's 0%. Sudoku Epic also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (411 vs 1). 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku Epic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 2 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sudoku Epic holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0.
