# Seekers Notes vs Christmas Fables

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 60% against Christmas Fables's 20%. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 179). Christmas Fables'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 Christmas Fables sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Christmas Fables 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 179, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 20% of Christmas Fables's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Christmas Fables every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 2, 2026 respectively.
