# Sticky Notes vs iNote

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sticky Notes at 84% against iNote's 49%. Sticky Notes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.1). iNote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 340). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky Notes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and iNote sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sticky Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNote has 2.4K ratings behind it against 340, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Sticky Notes's written reviews are positive against 49% of iNote's.

Sticky Notes ships an update every 2 months, iNote every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
