# Hidden Objects vs Meow

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hidden Objects at 282K against Meow's 9.3K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Meow sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hidden Objects against 4.7 for Meow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 282K ratings behind it against 9.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 48% of Meow's.

Hidden Objects ships an update monthly, Meow every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
