How we compare
We look at the things that change how a sudoku app feels day to day: whether it shows ads, what it costs to make them go away, whether you need a subscription, how difficulty is decided, and which devices it runs on. Competitor facts come from public App Store listings and price databases; they are dated and linked in each table.
