On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sticky Notes Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes Widget has 6.5K ratings behind it against 538, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Sticky Notes Widget's written reviews are positive against 38% of Any Text Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sticky Notes Widget ships an update daily, Any Text Widgets every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
