Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Letters at none against PixWords® Scenes's shown. Hidden Letters also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). PixWords® Scenes's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 37 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). 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 Letters sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and PixWords® Scenes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PixWords® Scenes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PixWords® Scenes has 3.1K ratings behind it against 178, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Hidden Letters's written reviews are positive against 76% of PixWords® Scenes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hidden Letters ships an update every 37 months, PixWords® Scenes monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
