# Hidden Tales vs Hidden Objects

Hidden Tales and Hidden Objects both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hidden Tales's. Hidden Tales's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 317) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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 Hidden Objects sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Tales holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Tales has 20K ratings behind it against 317, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Hidden Tales's written reviews are positive against 68% of Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden Tales ships an update every 10 days, Hidden Objects every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
