Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Note on Wallpaper at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Note on Wallpaper also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Sticky Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (6K vs 16). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Note on Wallpaper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sticky Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 6K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 80% of Note on Wallpaper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sticky Notes ships an update every 5 weeks, Note on Wallpaper fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
