# OLEDX vs Smart Widget

The clearest difference is ads: OLEDX at none against Smart Widget's shown. OLEDX also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 881). Smart Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (66% vs 49%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLEDX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OLEDX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLEDX has 5.2K ratings behind it against 881, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of OLEDX's written reviews are positive against 66% of Smart Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OLEDX ships an update every 10 months, Smart Widget every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
