# Edgar Poe vs Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Edgar Poe at 3.8K against Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects's 40. Edgar Poe also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Edgar Poe sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Edgar Poe holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Edgar Poe has 3.8K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Edgar Poe's written reviews are positive against 71% of Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Edgar Poe ships an update every 2 months, Sherlock Holmes：Hidden Objects every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
