# Color Themes vs Widgit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widgit at none against Color Themes's 7. Widgit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Color Themes's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 149) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Themes sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Widgit asks for nothing beyond the download.

Widgit holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Themes has 7K ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Color Themes's written reviews are positive against 47% of Widgit's.

Color Themes ships an update every 2 weeks, Widgit monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
