# Pro Note vs Sticky Notes

Pro Note and Sticky Notes both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pro Note's written reviews are positive against 61% of Sticky Notes's. Pro Note also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sticky Notes's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (518 vs 15). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Note sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Sticky Notes sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 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 — 4.5 for Pro Note against 4.6 for Sticky Notes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 518 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Pro Note's written reviews are positive against 61% of Sticky Notes's.

Pro Note ships an update monthly, Sticky Notes weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
