# Hidden City vs Ravenhill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden City at 72% against Ravenhill's 53%. Hidden City also leads on chart position (#113 vs unranked). Ravenhill's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Ravenhill holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95K and 41K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 53% of Ravenhill's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden City ships an update every 2 weeks, Ravenhill weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
