# Unsolved Case Files 3D vs Hidden Tales

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Tales at 4.9 against Unsolved Case Files 3D's 4.4. Hidden Tales also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 13). Unsolved Case Files 3D's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 39%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unsolved Case Files 3D sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Tales sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Tales holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Tales has 20K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Unsolved Case Files 3D's written reviews are positive against 39% of Hidden Tales's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Unsolved Case Files 3D ships an update every 2 weeks, Hidden Tales every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
