Best Sudoku App With Stats: Progress Tracking Compared

The sudoku app with the most to say about how you solve is Sudoku Royale: besides games, win rate, accuracy, best score and streak, it maps your play on a Skills radar (Speed, Accuracy, Vision, Consistency, Repertoire) and keeps a record for each technique drill. If you want classic numbers instead, a table of best times per difficulty level, Tripledot Sudoku and Sudoku: Daily Puzzles by Gamovation promise that on their listings, and Sudoku: Classic Puzzle Games tracks completion times and error counts.

Almost every sudoku app lists "statistics" as a feature, and the word covers very different things. Some apps count games and times. A few tell you what kind of solver you are. Below, every claim about another app comes from its own App Store listing.

The App Store facts

From each app's US App Store listing, checked October 26, 2026. Prices and paid items change, so check the listing before you buy.

What each app tracks

Three kinds of sudoku statistics

Logbook stats count what happened: games played, games won, average and best times. They answer "am I getting faster at Hard?" Nearly every app here has some version of them.

Comparison stats put your numbers next to other people's: leaderboards, rankings, scores built to be compared. A lone best time of 9 minutes means little until you know whether that is fast. Our page on how long a sudoku takes gives rough benchmarks if your app has no leaderboard.

Skill stats explain your numbers: which techniques you miss, whether you are slow because you hesitate or because you make mistakes. They are the rarest, and the most useful if you want to improve rather than just keep score.

Sudoku Royale: stats that point at what to practice

The profile keeps the logbook: games, win rate, accuracy, best score and your Daily Challenge streak. The Skills radar adds the skill view, scoring you on five axes built from your own games: Speed, Accuracy, Vision, Consistency and Repertoire. Two players with the same best time can have very different shapes, and a lopsided radar shows where to work.

The app then gives you somewhere to act on it. The Dojo has timed drills in 15 technique groups, and its release notes describe a record for your fastest streak in each technique, so you can see your hidden singles get quicker while X-Wings still lag. The Sensei Royale coach picks positions from your own recent games to practice. A Brain Age figure is there too, if you enter your date of birth.

For comparison, the Daily Challenge and each Dojo drill have leaderboards, and the weekly belt league ranks you against the players in your league and your friends. All of that is free: no ads, no purchases, no premium stats tier.

The limits: the profile is built around overall figures and one best score, and the app does not advertise a table of best times for each of its six levels, the kind Tripledot describes. Your stats follow your account rather than iCloud, so sign in if you want them on a second device. And it is new: it launched in 2026, so its stats screens have had less time to mature than those of apps that have been around for a decade.

Tripledot and Gamovation: the per-level numbers

If your question is "what is my best time on Expert?", Tripledot Sudoku's listing answers it directly: best times and streaks for every difficulty level. Gamovation's Sudoku: Daily Puzzles keeps personal statistics for easy, medium, hard and expert, includes the daily puzzles, and lets you compare your stats in rankings with players worldwide. Per their listings, Tripledot comes with ads and Gamovation with ads. See Sudoku Royale vs Tripledot for the full comparison.

Sudoku: Classic Puzzle Games: error counts

This app's listing is the only one here that mentions tracking your error counts next to completion times, which suits players who want to cut mistakes rather than seconds. It also lists achievements, leaderboards and variants such as Killer Sudoku. Paid options on its listing: Sudoku Premium $4.99, Sudoku Premium $39.99.

Brainium, Sudoku.com, Staple and nerByte

Brainium Sudoku pairs game statistics with a scoring system its listing says is built for competing with yourself or friends, plus global and friend leaderboards. It shows ads until you buy Remove Ads at $11.99. Sudoku.com's listing offers statistics to track your progress, Sudoku by Staple Games lists "Statistics" and nothing more, and nerByte Sudoku promises "extensive statistics to monitor personal progress". None of the three describes what is measured, so check the stats screen in the first week before you commit.
