# Sticky Notes vs Cleaning Schedule

The clearest difference is monetization model: Cleaning Schedule at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Cleaning Schedule also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (90% vs 72%). Sticky Notes's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 425) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, 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 Cleaning Schedule sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cleaning Schedule holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 6K ratings behind it against 425, 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 90% of Cleaning Schedule's.

Sticky Notes ships an update every 5 weeks, Cleaning Schedule every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
