# Buster's Journey vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects at 4.7 against Buster's Journey's 3.9. Hidden Objects also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 9). Buster's Journey's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (73% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buster's Journey sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Objects 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, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Buster's Journey's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Buster's Journey ships an update fortnightly, Hidden Objects every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
