# Sticky Notes + Widget Memo vs EasyNotes

The clearest difference is rating: EasyNotes at 4.7 against Sticky Notes + Widget Memo's 2.9. EasyNotes also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 70) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Sticky Notes + Widget Memo's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes + Widget Memo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
