Verdict
OneWidget and Live Activities both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Live Activities's written reviews are positive against 54% of OneWidget's. Live Activities also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). OneWidget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
