Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects at 4.6 against Buster's Journey's 3.9. Hidden Objects also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 9). Buster's Journey's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 53%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 73% of Buster's Journey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidden Objects ships an update every 3 months, Buster's Journey fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
