# Sticky Notes vs Credible

The clearest difference is monetization model: Credible at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Sticky Notes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (72% vs 50%). On price, rating, 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 Credible sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 6K ratings behind it against 227, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 50% of Credible's.
