Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hidden Objects at every 3 months against Mars Mystery's every 11 months. Hidden Objects also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Mars Mystery's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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 Objects sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Mars Mystery sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mars Mystery holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 363 and 613 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Hidden Objects's written reviews are positive against 64% of Mars Mystery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hidden Objects ships an update every 3 months, Mars Mystery every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
