# Color Widgets vs Share Widget

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 (#97 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.

Both are free to download. Color Widgets sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Share Widget sells 5 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 Share Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 524K ratings behind it against 92, 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 25% of Share Widget's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Share Widget every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
