# Christmas Holiday Hide Objects vs Hidden Objects Photo Journey

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Objects Photo Journey at 4.6 against Christmas Holiday Hide Objects's 3.8. Hidden Objects Photo Journey also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 4). Christmas Holiday Hide Objects's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Christmas Holiday Hide Objects sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Objects Photo Journey sells 30 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Objects Photo Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Christmas Holiday Hide Objects's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hidden Objects Photo Journey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Christmas Holiday Hide Objects ships an update every 18 months, Hidden Objects Photo Journey every 11 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
