# Pxlur vs Lock Screen Widgets

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.

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.

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.
