# Color Widgets vs Sticky Widgets

The clearest difference is rating: Color Widgets at 4.6 against Sticky Widgets's 4.1. Color Widgets also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 33%) and ratings volume (528K vs 66). Sticky Widgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Sticky Widgets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 528K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 33% of Sticky Widgets's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Sticky Widgets every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
