# Hidden Objects vs Runes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Runes at 83% against Hidden Objects's 0%. Runes also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (577 vs 1). Hidden Objects's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Runes sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Runes holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runes has 577 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 83% of Runes's.
