Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cursed Fables 3・Hidden Objects at none against Mystery Files's shown. Cursed Fables 3・Hidden Objects also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 58%). Mystery Files's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 16). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mystery Files sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Cursed Fables 3・Hidden Objects sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mystery Files holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Files has 5.8K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Mystery Files's written reviews are positive against 80% of Cursed Fables 3・Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mystery Files ships an update fortnightly, Cursed Fables 3・Hidden Objects every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
