# Hidden Objects vs Buster's Journey

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.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Buster's Journey sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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