Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: EasyNotes at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. EasyNotes also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Sticky Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 52%). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and EasyNotes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EasyNotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6K and 3.9K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 52% of EasyNotes'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, EasyNotes every 9 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
