Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Color Widgets at 4.6 against Icon Changer's 3.5. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (527K vs 2) and chart position (#148 vs unranked). Icon Changer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Icon Changer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 527K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 100% of Icon Changer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Icon Changer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
