# Seekers Notes vs Hidden Stuff

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Hidden Stuff's every 2 months. Seekers Notes also leads on chart position (#27 vs unranked) and ratings volume (95K vs 18K). Hidden Stuff's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). 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 Hidden Stuff sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Stuff holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 18K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 51% of Hidden Stuff'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 Stuff every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
