Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widget Wizard at free with in-app purchases against Lock Screen Widgets App's subscription. Widget Wizard also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 29%). Lock Screen Widgets App's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 57). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Wizard sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Lock Screen Widgets App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock Screen Widgets App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Widget Wizard's written reviews are positive against 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widget Wizard ships an update every 2 weeks, Lock Screen Widgets App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
