# Seekers Notes vs Picture Hunt

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Picture Hunt's every 6 weeks. Seekers Notes also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 44%) and ratings volume (95K vs 6K). Picture Hunt's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Picture Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 44% of Picture Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Picture Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
