# Fast Speed Dial vs Call Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Call Widget at 4.3 against Fast Speed Dial's 3.4. Call Widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (184 vs 44). Fast Speed Dial's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast Speed Dial sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Call Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Call Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 184 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Fast Speed Dial's written reviews are positive against 46% of Call Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fast Speed Dial ships an update every 2 weeks, Call Widget every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
