# Seekers Notes vs Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek

The clearest difference is rating: Seekers Notes at 4.3 against Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek's 3.4. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 23). Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seekers Notes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seekers Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 84% of Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Hidden Objects Candy Shop Seek every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
