# Color Widgets vs Widgetal

Color Widgets and Widgetal both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 21% of Widgetal's. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (524K vs 589) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). Widgetal's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Widgetal sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 524K ratings behind it against 589, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Color Widgets's written reviews are positive against 21% of Widgetal's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Widgetal every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
