# Hidden Tales vs Differences

Hidden Tales and Differences both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hidden Tales's. Differences also leads on ratings volume (337K vs 20K) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). Hidden Tales's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Tales sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Differences sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
