# Widget Box Interactive Widgets vs Icon Changer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widget Box Interactive Widgets at free with in-app purchases against Icon Changer's subscription. Widget Box Interactive Widgets also leads on ratings volume (46K vs 7.5K). Icon Changer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Box Interactive Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Icon Changer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widget Box Interactive Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Box Interactive Widgets has 46K ratings behind it against 7.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Widget Box Interactive Widgets's written reviews are positive against 45% of Icon Changer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Widget Box Interactive Widgets ships an update weekly, Icon Changer every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
