Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LinkLines at none against Hidden Object's 5. LinkLines also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (78% vs 67%). Hidden Object's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 23 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
