Credit karma or credit sesame ??

Guys, i have heard of free credit reports provided by credit karma and credit sesame. Which one is more accurate and better? Is there any fraud associated with any of these? I already enrolled credit karma, will i get anything additional with credit sesame? 

 

Please share your good or bad experiences..

both are pretty much the same to be honest. they both let you see your accounts that are reporting, monitor changes, and offer FAKO scores. the main difference that i'm aware of is CK is TU and CS is EX.  I find CK to be a little easier to navigate though.

| AMEX Zync PSL | Walmart $900 | Cap1 Green $1.5k | Amazon $1k | NFCU Visa Sig $10k | NavChek $15k | NFCU Platinum MC $2k | Lowe's $1.2k |
Starting Score:TU:597 EQ:571 7/5/12 (joined myFICO & SW)
Current Score: EQ:653 (ScoreWatch) EX:685 (Amex app) TU:681 (Walmart)
Goal Score: 700

Proud to say that ALL past due debt has been paid and I never declared BK!!

Credit Karma offers daily updates and Credit Sesame updates once a month. and like he said above of me CK shows your TU report, which is not 100% accurate and CS shows your EX report, again not 100% accurate. They are both free and i have both to get a general snapshot of my reports, just dont rely on those scores.

EQ FICO - 699 (9/27/12) TU FICO - 709 (9/27/12) EX FICO (9/30/12) 725 AMEX
Im my wallet - Cap1 Cash Rewards(500) Cap1 Platinum MC(2000) Chase Freedom(1000) AMEX BCE (2000)
