# Logic Grid Puzzles vs Sootly

The clearest difference is monetization model: Sootly at free against Logic Grid Puzzles's free with in-app purchases. Sootly also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Logic Grid Puzzles's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 22) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Logic Grid Puzzles sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sootly 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 — 4.8 for Logic Grid Puzzles against 4.8 for Sootly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Logic Grid Puzzles has 39K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Logic Grid Puzzles's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sootly's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
