# Find Hidden Objects vs Paper Sudoku

Find Hidden Objects's advantage is chart position (#140 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Find Hidden Objects sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Paper Sudoku sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Find Hidden Objects ships an update every 2 weeks, Paper Sudoku every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
