# Sudoku Revolution vs Escavé

The clearest difference is ads: Escavé at none against Sudoku Revolution's shown. Escavé also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Sudoku Revolution's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku Revolution sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Escavé sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Escavé holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku Revolution has 33 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Sudoku Revolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Escavé's.

Sudoku Revolution ships an update every 3 months, Escavé every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
