# Widgy Widgets vs ・ (Yidget)

The clearest difference is ads: Widgy Widgets at none against ・ (Yidget)'s shown. Widgy Widgets also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 1.5K) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgy Widgets sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and ・ (Yidget) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgy Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgy Widgets has 26K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Widgy Widgets's written reviews are positive against 65% of ・ (Yidget)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Widgy Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, ・ (Yidget) every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
