Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flag Maker! at none against Widget Maker's shown. Flag Maker! also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 43%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Widget Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 48 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
