# Hidem vs Quick Hide

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidem at 74% against Quick Hide's 0%. Hidem also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (818 vs 4). Quick Hide's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidem sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Quick Hide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quick Hide holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidem has 818 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Hidem's written reviews are positive against 0% of Quick Hide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidem ships an update every 4 weeks, Quick Hide every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
