# Sudoku vs Str8ts HD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sudoku at 95% against Str8ts HD's 53%. Sudoku also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 8). Str8ts HD's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Str8ts HD sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sudoku holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Sudoku's written reviews are positive against 53% of Str8ts HD's.
