# TuneTrack vs WidgetBeats

The clearest difference is rating: TuneTrack at 3.2 against WidgetBeats's 1.8. TuneTrack also leads on ratings volume (8.9K vs 20) and review sentiment (31% vs 9%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TuneTrack sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and WidgetBeats sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TuneTrack holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TuneTrack has 8.9K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of TuneTrack's written reviews are positive against 9% of WidgetBeats's.

TuneTrack ships an update every 10 days, WidgetBeats every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
