Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Objects at none against Mystery Files's shown. Mystery Files's advantage is ratings volume (5.8K vs 64) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mystery Files sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Objects sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
