Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Widgetly at none against eWidget's shown. Widgetly also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). eWidget's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 30%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Widgetly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and eWidget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widgetly holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Widgetly's written reviews are positive against 53% of eWidget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widgetly ships an update daily, eWidget every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
