# Hidden Object New York Chicago vs Time Trap 2

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Object New York Chicago at none against Time Trap 2's shown. Hidden Object New York Chicago also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 74%). Time Trap 2's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 19) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Object New York Chicago sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Time Trap 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Trap 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Trap 2 has 1.4K 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 74% of Time Trap 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
