# Find Hidden Objects vs Case Open

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Case Open at none against Find Hidden Objects's 10. Case Open also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Find Hidden Objects's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 7) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Find Hidden Objects sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Case Open asks for nothing beyond the download.

Case Open holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Hidden Objects has 59K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Find Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 80% of Case Open's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Find Hidden Objects ships an update every 2 weeks, Case Open monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
