# Seekers Notes vs Romance

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Romance's every 10 months. Seekers Notes also leads on ratings volume (95K vs 2.6K) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). Romance's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seekers Notes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Romance sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Seekers Notes against 4.4 for Romance. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Romance's.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Romance every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
