Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ombre at 4.5 against Empty Widget's 3.9. Ombre also leads on ratings volume (93 vs 10) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). Empty Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
