Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sticky Notes at 4.2 against Stickies's 3.3. Sticky Notes also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 29%). Stickies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
