# Widgetsmith vs GetGoen

The clearest difference is ads: GetGoen at none against Widgetsmith's shown. GetGoen also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). Widgetsmith's advantage is ratings volume (773K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgetsmith sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and GetGoen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GetGoen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgetsmith has 773K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Widgetsmith's written reviews are positive against 100% of GetGoen's.

Widgetsmith ships an update every 2 weeks, GetGoen every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
