# Color Widgets vs Kidgets

The clearest difference is ads: Kidgets at none against Color Widgets's shown. Kidgets also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (75% vs 64%). Color Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (528K vs 21) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, 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 Kidgets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kidgets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Widgets has 528K ratings behind it against 21, 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 75% of Kidgets's.

Color Widgets ships an update monthly, Kidgets every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
