Verdict
MindGrid and Hideaways Wonders both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MindGrid's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hideaways Wonders's. MindGrid also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hideaways Wonders's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
