# Hidden Objects vs Mindhunter

The clearest difference is rating: Mindhunter at 5.0 against Hidden Objects's 4.5. Mindhunter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Hidden Objects's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Objects sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Mindhunter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mindhunter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Objects has 124 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
