# Lynda's Legacy vs Find Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Find Hidden Objects at 82% against Lynda's Legacy's 45%. Find Hidden Objects also leads on ratings volume (59K vs 287) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lynda's Legacy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Find Hidden Objects sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
