# Fractal Space vs Hideaways Wonders

The clearest difference is price: Hideaways Wonders at Free against Fractal Space's $1.99. Hideaways Wonders also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 50). Fractal Space's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 50%). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Hideaways Wonders is free to download; Fractal Space costs $1.99 up front. Fractal Space sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Hideaways Wonders sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hideaways Wonders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hideaways Wonders has 2.3K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Fractal Space's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hideaways Wonders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fractal Space ships an update every 4 weeks, Hideaways Wonders every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
