Verdict

The call

Color Widgets and Share Widget both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 25% of Share Widget's. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (524K vs 92) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). Share Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
