Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 60% against Mystery Manor's 36%. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). Mystery Manor's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Seekers Notes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mystery Manor sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mystery Manor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95K and 30K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 36% of Mystery Manor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Mystery Manor monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
