# Sticky Widgets vs 4K Life

The clearest difference is rating: Sticky Widgets at 4.6 against 4K Life's 3.5. Sticky Widgets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (30K vs 20). 4K Life's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Widgets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and 4K Life sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sticky Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Widgets has 30K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Sticky Widgets's written reviews are positive against 50% of 4K Life's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sticky Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, 4K Life monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
