# KIKY vs Widget Cat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KIKY at none against Widget Cat's 10. KIKY also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Widget Cat's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (97 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Cat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. KIKY asks for nothing beyond the download.

KIKY holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Cat has 97 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of KIKY's written reviews are positive against 71% of Widget Cat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KIKY ships an update every 8 months, Widget Cat weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
