# 3minders vs Widget Box Interactive Widgets

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 3minders at 100% against Widget Box Interactive Widgets's 40%. 3minders also leads on ads (none vs shown). Widget Box Interactive Widgets's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (46K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3minders sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Widget Box Interactive Widgets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widget Box Interactive Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Box Interactive Widgets has 46K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 3minders's written reviews are positive against 40% of Widget Box Interactive Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

3minders ships an update every 6 weeks, Widget Box Interactive Widgets weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
