# Pearl’s Peril vs Hidden Object

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pearl’s Peril at 57K against Hidden Object's 3.9K. Hidden Object's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pearl’s Peril sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Object sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Pearl’s Peril against 4.5 for Hidden Object. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pearl’s Peril has 57K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Pearl’s Peril's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hidden Object's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
