The clearest difference is ratings volume: Glimpse 2 at 45 against SuperWidget's 11. Glimpse 2 also leads on device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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
Both are free to download. Glimpse 2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and SuperWidget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SuperWidget holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 45 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Glimpse 2's written reviews are positive against 33% of SuperWidget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Glimpse 2 ships an update every 2 weeks, SuperWidget fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
