Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Huebsch at Free against Any Text · Widgets's $4.00. Huebsch also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (7.3K vs 450). Any Text · Widgets's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 67%) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On ads and in-app purchases 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
Huebsch is free to download; Any Text · Widgets costs $4.00 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Huebsch holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Huebsch has 7.3K ratings behind it against 450, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Huebsch's written reviews are positive against 82% of Any Text · Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Huebsch ships an update every 3 weeks, Any Text · Widgets every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
