Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widgetly at free with in-app purchases against Themify's subscription. Widgetly also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Themify's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (345K vs 40). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Widgetly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Themify sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Themify holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themify has 345K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Widgetly's written reviews are positive against 45% of Themify's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widgetly ships an update daily, Themify fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
