# Color Widgets vs Call Widget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Color Widgets at 64% against Call Widget's 27%. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (524K vs 693) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Call Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly 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 Call Widget sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 524K ratings behind it against 693, 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 27% of Call Widget's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Call Widget weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
