Little stationery: washi paper and masking tape ・Each note is drawn with soft gradients and paper-fiber texture ・Every skin is free — the classic yellow, sakura, fresh green, sky, wisteria, tangerine, natural, and sumi, plus the retro cafe set: coffee, matcha cream, custard, and cream soda The widget is the whole point ・Home Screen: small, medium, and large sizes ・Lock Screen: keep a note under the clock ・StandBy: for the bedside landscape display too ・Two display modes: pinned-first, or rotation ・Pick exactly which notes each widget shows Just write ・Open the app and write. Your widgets update the moment you save ・Pin the note that matters most so it always shows first ・Text size adjusts to fit Pricing ・Every feature is free (unlimited notes, all skins) ・A banner ad is shown at the bottom of the screen ・If you prefer a cleaner view, an optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is available.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widget Caddy at none against Fusen's 1. Widget Caddy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 days). On price there is nothing between them.
