# Hidden City vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hidden City at every 9 days against Hidden Objects's every 2 months. Hidden City also leads on chart position (#111 vs unranked) and ratings volume (95K vs 22K). Hidden Objects's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, 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 Hidden Objects sells 7 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, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95K and 22K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 68% 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 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
