# PonYa Premium vs Hidden Spots

The clearest difference is price: Hidden Spots at Free against PonYa Premium's $1.99. Hidden Spots also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (40K vs 1). PonYa Premium's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Hidden Spots is free to download; PonYa Premium costs $1.99 up front. Hidden Spots sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PonYa Premium asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hidden Spots holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Spots has 40K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of PonYa Premium's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hidden Spots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PonYa Premium ships an update monthly, Hidden Spots every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
