Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hidden Quest at none against Mystery Spot's shown. Hidden Quest also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 65%). Mystery Spot's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 263). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hidden Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mystery Spot sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mystery Spot holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mystery Spot has 2.3K ratings behind it against 263, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Hidden Quest's written reviews are positive against 65% of Mystery Spot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hidden Quest ships an update every 2 months, Mystery Spot every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
