# Sticky Notes vs Tend

The clearest difference is rating: Tend at 5.0 against Sticky Notes's 4.4. Tend also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription). Sticky Notes's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 1). 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 Tend sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tend holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes has 6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
