# Hide Online vs The Ghost

The clearest difference is rating: Hide Online at 4.4 against The Ghost's 3.9. Hide Online also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 60%). The Ghost's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hide Online sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and The Ghost sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hide Online holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hide Online has 29K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Hide Online's written reviews are positive against 60% of The Ghost's.

Hide Online ships an update every 3 months, The Ghost every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
