# Seekers Notes vs Hidden Journey

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Hidden Journey's every 3 months. Seekers Notes also leads on chart position (#27 vs unranked) and ratings volume (95K vs 26K). Hidden Journey's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, 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 Hidden Journey sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Journey holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 95K and 26K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 52% of Hidden Journey'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 Journey every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
