# Sudoku vs Logic Sudoku

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sudoku at 95% against Logic Sudoku's 48%. Sudoku also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 184). Logic Sudoku's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 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 Logic Sudoku 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 1.1K ratings behind it against 184, 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 48% of Logic Sudoku's.

Sudoku ships an update every 3 months, Logic Sudoku every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
