# Color Widgets vs Theme Store

The clearest difference is rating: Color Widgets at 4.6 against Theme Store's 3.3. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (524K vs 24) and chart position (#87 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Theme Store sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 524K ratings behind it against 24, 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 57% of Theme Store's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
