# Widget Wizard vs Left

The clearest difference is rating: Left at 4.6 against Widget Wizard's 4.1. Left also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (74% vs 63%). Widget Wizard's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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 Left sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Left holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Left has 396 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Widget Wizard's written reviews are positive against 74% of Left's.

Widget Wizard ships an update every 2 weeks, Left every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
