# Seekers Notes vs Spirits Chronicles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 60% against Spirits Chronicles's 26%. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 503). Spirits Chronicles'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 Spirits Chronicles sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spirits Chronicles 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 503, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 26% of Spirits Chronicles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Spirits Chronicles every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
