Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden Objects New York Winter at 95% against Detective Katy's 52%. Hidden Objects New York Winter also leads on ads (none vs shown). Detective Katy's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hidden Objects New York Winter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Detective Katy sells 34 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Detective Katy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Detective Katy has 180 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Hidden Objects New York Winter's written reviews are positive against 52% of Detective Katy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hidden Objects New York Winter ships an update every 13 months, Detective Katy every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
