Verdict
Widgetkit and Icon Themer both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 54% of Icon Themer's written reviews are positive against 12% of Widgetkit's. Icon Themer also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 30 months) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.6). Widgetkit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (17K vs 966). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
