# Seekers Notes vs Mystical Riddles

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seekers Notes at 59% against Mystical Riddles's 17%. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (every 9 days 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.

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.

Seekers Notes ships an update every 9 days, Mystical Riddles every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
