# Sticky Notes + Widget Memo vs WeNote

The clearest difference is rating: WeNote at 4.8 against Sticky Notes + Widget Memo's 2.9. WeNote also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 48%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Sticky Notes + Widget Memo's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes + Widget Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WeNote sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeNote holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeNote has 1K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Sticky Notes + Widget Memo's written reviews are positive against 86% of WeNote's.
