# WSTicK vs Sticker.ly

WSTicK and Sticker.ly both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of WSTicK's written reviews are positive against 39% of Sticker.ly's. WSTicK also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Sticker.ly's advantage is ratings volume (151K vs 9.4K) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WSTicK sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sticker.ly sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for WSTicK against 4.8 for Sticker.ly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticker.ly has 151K ratings behind it against 9.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of WSTicK's written reviews are positive against 39% of Sticker.ly's.

WSTicK ships an update every 3 weeks, Sticker.ly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
