# Subscribers Counter vs YT Widget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Subscribers Counter at 72% against YT Widget's 33%. Subscribers Counter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). YT Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YT Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Subscribers Counter asks for nothing beyond the download.

YT Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subscribers Counter has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Subscribers Counter's written reviews are positive against 33% of YT Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Subscribers Counter ships an update every 3 months, YT Widget every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
