# Hi Sticky vs Sticky Notes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hi Sticky at 80% against Sticky Notes's 0%. Hi Sticky also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (44 vs 2). Sticky Notes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hi Sticky sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sticky Notes asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sticky Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hi Sticky has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Hi Sticky's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sticky Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
