Fluctuations like those you mention are not uncommon.
Credit Karma tracks Transunion, Credit Sesame tracks Experian, so they are different scores, aside from the fact that both are estimates of your scores. Neither are truly accurate, which is why it is valuable to occasionally get your current scores from EXP, TU and EQ.
Also, keep in mind that there are differences among EXP, TU and EQ; so even those scores will not be the same.
