Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widgetly at free with in-app purchases against OneWidget's subscription. Widgetly also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). OneWidget's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (54% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OneWidget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Widgetly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
