Amp Rider is free to download; Hidden Folks costs $4.99 up front. Amp Rider sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Hidden Folks asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hidden Folks holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Folks has 13K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Hidden Folks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Amp Rider's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
