# Hidden Express vs Pack 19

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pack 19 at none against Hidden Express's 12. Pack 19 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Hidden Express's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (385 vs 7). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Express sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Pack 19 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hidden Express against 4.7 for Pack 19. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Express has 385 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Hidden Express's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pack 19's.

Hidden Express ships an update every 5 weeks, Pack 19 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
