Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Cheatsheet at free with in-app purchases against Sticky Notes's subscription. Cheatsheet also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Sticky Notes's advantage is ratings volume (6K vs 1.9K) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
