# Sticky Notes vs Text Me That

The clearest difference is monetization model: Text Me That at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Text Me That also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Sticky Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6K vs 1.5K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Text Me That sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 65% of Text Me That's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
