Are fertilizer sticks the same as slow release fertilizer pellets like Osmocote?

Osmocote has a coating on it so that it releases slower than fertilizer sticks, which don't have the coating on them.

Yes, I know. I’m referring to the attached image. What the app is calling sticks. I’m wondering why slow release pellets aren’t an option seeing how it’s been around for decades.

You could still use the stick setting, and just snooze or ignore it every other time?
