# Hidden Objects vs Spot the Dog

The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Objects at none against Spot the Dog's shown. Spot the Dog's advantage is ratings volume (662 vs 66) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Spot the Dog sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hidden Objects against 4.6 for Spot the Dog. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spot the Dog has 662 ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 70% of Spot the Dog's.

Hidden Objects ships an update monthly, Spot the Dog fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
