# Widgets Maker vs Widget+ Custom HomeScreen

Widgets Maker's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and review sentiment (28% vs 18%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgets Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Widget+ Custom HomeScreen sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
