# Seekers Notes vs Hidden Objects

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 60% against Hidden Objects's 21%. Seekers Notes also leads on ratings volume (95K vs 104) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). Hidden Objects's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, 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 Objects sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Objects 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 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 21% of Hidden Objects'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 Objects every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
