# Hidden City vs Unsolved Case

The clearest difference is rating: Unsolved Case at 4.8 against Hidden City's 4.3. Unsolved Case also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%). Hidden City's advantage is ratings volume (95K vs 105) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). 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 Unsolved Case sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unsolved Case holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden City has 95K ratings behind it against 105, so its average is the more settled of the two.
