# Seekers Notes vs Captain Nemo

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Captain Nemo's every 22 months. Seekers Notes also leads on ratings volume (95K vs 3.6K) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). Captain Nemo's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 60%) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
