# SensusMobile vs Sticky Widgets

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SensusMobile at none against Sticky Widgets's 9. SensusMobile also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Sticky Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Widgets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. SensusMobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

SensusMobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Widgets has 30K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SensusMobile ships an update every 5 weeks, Sticky Widgets every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
