Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 第9ターミナル at none against Hide in The Backroom's 4. 第9ターミナル also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Hide in The Backroom's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

第9ターミナル holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hide in The Backroom has 23K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Hide in The Backroom's written reviews are positive against 77% of 第9ターミナル's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hide in The Backroom ships an update every 3 weeks, 第9ターミナル every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
