# Sudoku vs EverSudoku

The clearest difference is ads: EverSudoku at none against Sudoku's shown. EverSudoku also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Sudoku's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sudoku sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and EverSudoku sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sudoku against 4.9 for EverSudoku. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku has 6.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sudoku ships an update every 3 weeks, EverSudoku fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
