# Sticky Notes vs Listshare

The clearest difference is monetization model: Listshare at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Listshare also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Sticky Notes's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 94). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Listshare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Listshare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 6K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Listshare's.

Sticky Notes ships an update every 5 weeks, Listshare every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
