Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WIDI App holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WIDI App has 29 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of WIDI App's written reviews are positive against 50% of EFNOTE Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WIDI App ships an update monthly, EFNOTE Tools every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and July 21, 2026 respectively.
