Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MultiSudoku at none against Line Sweeper's shown. MultiSudoku also leads on ratings volume (2.4K vs 8) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 6 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Line Sweeper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MultiSudoku sells 26 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MultiSudoku holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiSudoku has 2.4K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Line Sweeper's written reviews are positive against 93% of MultiSudoku's.
Line Sweeper ships an update every 6 months, MultiSudoku every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
