# Hidden Objects vs Picture Hunt

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden Objects at 100% against Picture Hunt's 44%. Hidden Objects also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). Picture Hunt's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). 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 Picture Hunt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
