Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PinBoard at none against Sticky Notes's 3. PinBoard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Sticky Notes's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
