Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: App Hide at 5.0 against Hidem's 4.3. App Hide also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Hidem's advantage is ratings volume (818 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidem sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and App Hide sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

App Hide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidem has 818 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Hidem's written reviews are positive against 67% of App Hide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hidem ships an update every 4 weeks, App Hide fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
