# Hidden Tales vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden Objects at 57% against Hidden Tales's 40%. Hidden Objects also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Hidden Tales's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Tales sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Hidden Objects sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. 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. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20K and 14K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Hidden Tales's written reviews are positive against 57% 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 11 days, Hidden Objects every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
