Why do we forget things? Because we close the app. Pique solves this simply. Just float it. Put your memo on the Dynamic Island. It stays there while you use other apps, browse the web, or check messages. You don't need to remember it, because Pique holds it for you. How it works: Write it down. Open Pique and type your note. Send it up. Watch it float to your Dynamic Island. Done. It’s always there until you dismiss it. It’s the sticky note for your iPhone, reimagined. Download Pique and stop worrying about forgetting.

Glassnote puts your notes on your Home Screen. Not an icon that opens them. The note itself, right there in a widget. YOUR NOTE, ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Pin any note to a widget. Small, medium or large, and extra large on iPad. Your list, your plan, your reminder. Just glance at it. MADE OF GLASS Notes sit on frosted glass over a photo, an abstract background, or a picture of your own. Prefer it plain? Pick dark or light. MARKDOWN THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Headings, bold, links and checklists. The symbols hide until you edit that line. Tap a box to check it off. SYNCS WITH YOUR MAC Notes live in your own iCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pique at none against Glassnote's 1. Glassnote's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
