# iNote vs Sticky Notes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sticky Notes at 67% against iNote's 17%. Sticky Notes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). iNote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNote sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Sticky Notes sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of iNote's written reviews are positive against 67% of Sticky Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iNote ships an update every 7 months, Sticky Notes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
