Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Crossings at none against Hidden Object's shown. Crossings also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). Hidden Object's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
