# Formula E vs Motorsports Widgets

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Motorsports Widgets at 67% against Formula E's 22%. Motorsports Widgets also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Formula E's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (1K vs 172). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motorsports Widgets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Formula E asks for nothing beyond the download.

Motorsports Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formula E has 1K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Formula E's written reviews are positive against 67% of Motorsports Widgets's.

Formula E ships an update every 3 weeks, Motorsports Widgets every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
