# Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers vs ThemeBox

The clearest difference is rating: Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers at 4.5 against ThemeBox's 3.6. Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 514). ThemeBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and ThemeBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers has 4.1K ratings behind it against 514, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Widgets, Themes & Wallpapers's written reviews are positive against 51% of ThemeBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
