# TimeDeck vs Widget Kit

The clearest difference is rating: Widget Kit at 5.0 against TimeDeck's 4.0. TimeDeck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (67 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeDeck sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Widget Kit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widget Kit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeDeck has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
