# StickyTalking vs Campfire

The clearest difference is rating: Campfire at 4.3 against StickyTalking's 3.6. Campfire also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). StickyTalking's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StickyTalking sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Campfire asks for nothing beyond the download.

Campfire holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Campfire has 193 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of StickyTalking's written reviews are positive against 44% of Campfire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StickyTalking ships an update every 3 weeks, Campfire fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
