# Hidden City vs Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hidden City at 95K against Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games's 1.4K. Hidden City also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 54%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). 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 Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden City has 95K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hidden City's written reviews are positive against 54% of Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games'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, Scavenger：Hidden Objects Games every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
