# Blockfest Puzzle vs Sudoku

The clearest difference is ads: Sudoku at none against Blockfest Puzzle's shown. Sudoku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Blockfest Puzzle's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blockfest Puzzle sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Sudoku sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sudoku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blockfest Puzzle has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Blockfest Puzzle ships an update every 5 days, Sudoku every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
