Why sticky? - Post your thoughts and photos where they matter. - Connect with people who were at the place before you and with those who visit after you. - Plus, see posts attached to places all over the world right from the app. *To ensure your posts attach to your location properly, please allow sticky access to: - your location while you are using the app (so you can see the posts around you and so that your post is attached to your current location not somewhere in the middle of the sea, unless that is where you are!) - the camera (so you can view posts around you and to capture the moment to post to where you are.) - your photos (so you can attach your own photos to where you are.)

Have you ever been in the situation where someone approaches you and despite your best efforts you cannot remember their name? This is what inspired tagAR. This is a social AR application that provides a visual name tag into your augmented view, replacing the traditional “Hello, my name is” sticker version. It allows you to see the names of people around you tagged above their head. This can help you find people in a crowded room (through the search feature) and remember someone's name before and as you approach them in educational environments, conferences, meetings, social events and where people are connecting for the first time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sticky at 78% against tagAR's 0%. Sticky also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 40 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). tagAR's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 2.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
tagAR holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively.

Sticky ships an update every 9 days, tagAR every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
