# Prodigy vs Sudoku Blocks

The clearest difference is ads: Prodigy at none against Sudoku Blocks's shown. Prodigy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Sudoku Blocks's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (316 vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prodigy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sudoku Blocks sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sudoku Blocks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sudoku Blocks has 316 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Prodigy's written reviews are positive against 97% of Sudoku Blocks's.

Prodigy ships an update fortnightly, Sudoku Blocks monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
