# Color Widgets vs Icon Changer

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 (#145 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.

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.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Icon Changer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
