Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lock Screen Widgets at 100% against Pxlur's 57%. Pxlur's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pxlur sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Lock Screen Widgets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pxlur holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pxlur has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Pxlur's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lock Screen Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pxlur ships an update every 2 months, Lock Screen Widgets every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
