# Differences vs Hidden Spots

The clearest difference is update cadence: Differences at every 3 weeks against Hidden Spots's every 2 months. Differences also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Differences sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Spots sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 337K ratings behind it against 40K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Differences's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hidden Spots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Differences ships an update every 3 weeks, Hidden Spots every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
