# Sticky Widgets vs MechaOBD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MechaOBD at 100% against Sticky Widgets's 40%. MechaOBD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Sticky Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

MechaOBD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Widgets has 30K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Sticky Widgets's written reviews are positive against 100% of MechaOBD's.

Sticky Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, MechaOBD every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
