How we grade them
| 3.2GPANotezillaVery good | 3.2GPAStickierVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe subscription is $19.95 a year, plus $10.00 for the first year only, and it leaves you with a permanent Windows licence. After the first year that's under $2 a month, where paid plans typically start at $5.99. Or pay $29.95 once for up to 2 computers, with no sync. | AThe Mac app is free, with no in-app purchases listed. Stickier Mobile for iPhone and iPad is $4.99 once on the US App Store, and it supports Family Sharing. That's less than a month of a typical note subscription. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe iPhone, iPad and Android apps are free, with notes, checklists, reminders, tags and pictures. But the Windows app, which is the whole point, is paid after a fully working 30-day trial, and syncing it with your phone needs the subscription. | AOn a Mac the whole app is free: note windows, iCloud sync, revisions and the quick note shortcut. If your notes only need to live on your Mac, you never pay. It's the phone app that costs. |
| Features | BIt does one thing, sticky notes, and does it fully: notes that stay on top, memoboards to file them in, reminders, checklists, tags, pictures, and notes attached to a web page, document or program. You can send a note to a colleague's PC too. Sync and phone access are subscription only. | BEach note is its own window that can collapse, stay on top or snap to a grid. Notes take bold, italics, links, bullets and checkboxes, and a revisions button brings back earlier text. Solid for sticky notes, which is the whole job here. No reminders or attachments are on record, though. |
| Ease of use | BWe have no App Store rating on record for it, so a B is our ceiling. It's a sticky note, so there isn't much to learn. The only homework is choosing between the two plans before you buy. | BNo rating on record, so a B is as high as we go. A global shortcut key starts a quick note, and notes save automatically. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA Windows program, free iPhone, iPad and Android apps, and a web app at Notezilla.Net. On a Mac you're left with the web app. That's a good spread, but the listing shows no integrations and no API, so it stops short of an A. | CMac, iPhone and iPad, synced through iCloud, and that's the lot. No Windows, Android or web version, and no other sync service is named. The Mac app needs macOS 13.1 or later, and the mobile one iOS or iPadOS 16.4. |

Worth knowing
Notezilla
- The desktop program is Windows only. Mac access is through the web app or the iPad app, which the App Store marks as not verified for macOS.
- The $29.95 one-time plan cannot sync or reach notes from other PCs, phones or the web; that needs the yearly subscription.
- The subscription adds $10.00 to the first year, and after it lapses the permanent license covers a single computer.
- On the one-time plan, major new versions are sold at a discounted price instead of being included.
Stickier
- It runs on Apple devices only: the site lists a macOS app and an iOS app, with no Windows, Android or web version.
- The Mac app is free, but the iPhone and iPad app is a separate $4.99 purchase on the US App Store.
- Sync runs through iCloud; the site and the store listings name no other sync service.
- The Mac app requires macOS 13.1 or later, and Stickier Mobile requires iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or later.
Key features
Notezilla
- Desktop sticky notes
- Notes sit on the Windows desktop, can stay on top of other apps, and can be moved into folders called memoboards to clear the desktop.
- Notes attached to documents and sites
- A note can be stuck to a web page, document, program, folder or window, and shows up when that item is opened again.
- Reminders and checklists
- Any note can carry a reminder alarm, and checklist notes hold to-do items with checkboxes that can be ticked off and sorted.
- Sync and phone access
- With the subscription, notes sync between computers and with the iPhone/iPad and Android apps and the Notezilla.Net web app.
- Sending notes to other people
- Notes can be sent to computers on the local network or to contacts over the internet; people without Notezilla get them as email.
- Tags, pictures and skins
- Tags group related notes, pictures can be pasted into a note, and skins change a note's paper texture and color.
Stickier
- Sticky note windows
- On the Mac each note opens in its own window, which can be collapsed, kept always on top of other windows, and lined up with a snap-to-grid option.
- iCloud sync

- Note revisions
- A revisions button on the note toolbar shows recent revisions of a note, and a Restore button replaces the current text with an earlier revision.

- Notes take bold, italic, underlined and struck-through text and web links. Bullets and checkboxes repeat on the next line and can be indented.
- Menu bar and quick note shortcut
- The Mac app offers optional menu bar access and a global shortcut key for quick notes. A second shortcut can show the notes list window.
