Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 59% against Mystical Riddles's 17%. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (95K vs 146). Mystical Riddles'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 Mystical Riddles sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mystical Riddles 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 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 17% of Mystical Riddles's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Mystical Riddles every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
