Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Data Activity Widget at 5.0 against DataMeter's 3.7. Data Activity Widget also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). DataMeter's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 25%) and ratings volume (36 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DataMeter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Data Activity Widget sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Data Activity Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DataMeter has 36 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of DataMeter's written reviews are positive against 25% of Data Activity Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DataMeter ships an update monthly, Data Activity Widget every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
