# Color Widgets vs Call Widget

The clearest difference is ads: Call Widget at none against Color Widgets's shown. Call Widget also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Color Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (524K vs 9) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment 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 Call Widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Color Widgets against 4.6 for Call Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 524K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 67% of Call Widget's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Call Widget weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
