Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Widget Wizard at 63% against Widgetal's 21%. Widgetal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (589 vs 57). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Widget Wizard sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 3 months and Widgetal sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widgetal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgetal has 589 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 21% of Widgetal'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, Widgetal every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
