Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sticky Terms at none against Poptile's 1. Sticky Terms also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Poptile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Sticky Terms asks for nothing beyond the download.
Sticky Terms holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Terms has 2.7K ratings behind it against 142, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Poptile's written reviews are positive against 88% of Sticky Terms's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
