Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Around the World at none against Hidden Objects's shown. Around the World also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 9.0). Hidden Objects's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (364 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
