# Hidden Journey vs Hidden Express Go!

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hidden Express Go! at weekly against Hidden Journey's every 3 months. Hidden Express Go! also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 52%). Hidden Journey's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 160) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Journey sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Hidden Express Go! sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Journey has 26K ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two.
