# Differences vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects at 4.9 against Differences's 4.6. Hidden Objects also leads on chart position (#127 vs unranked). Differences's advantage is ratings volume (600K vs 57K) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hidden Objects sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 600K ratings behind it against 57K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 41% of Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Differences ships an update every 3 weeks, Hidden Objects every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
