# Nom Cat vs Hide N' Seek

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Nom Cat at 1.2K against Hide N' Seek's 3. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nom Cat sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Hide N' Seek sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Nom Cat against 4.7 for Hide N' Seek. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nom Cat has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
