Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WallpaperZ at none against Widget Box Interactive Widgets's shown. WallpaperZ also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 40%). Widget Box Interactive Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (46K vs 253) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 WallpaperZ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widget Box Interactive Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Box Interactive Widgets has 46K ratings behind it against 253, 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 64% of WallpaperZ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widget Box Interactive Widgets ships an update weekly, WallpaperZ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
