Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Design Sticky at none against Widget Memo's 1. Design Sticky also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 69%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Widget Memo's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widget Memo holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Memo has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Design Sticky's written reviews are positive against 69% of Widget Memo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Design Sticky ships an update every 3 days, Widget Memo every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
