# Hidden City vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hidden City at 72% against Hidden Objects's 44%. Hidden City also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 338). Hidden Objects's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Hidden Objects holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden City has 95K ratings behind it against 338, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 44% of Hidden Objects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hidden City ships an update every 9 days, Hidden Objects every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
