# Hidden Object New York Chicago vs Captain Nemo

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Object New York Chicago at none against Captain Nemo's shown. Captain Nemo's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 19) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Object New York Chicago sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Captain Nemo sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Captain Nemo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captain Nemo has 3.7K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Hidden Object New York Chicago's written reviews are positive against 87% of Captain Nemo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden Object New York Chicago ships an update every 17 months, Captain Nemo every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
