Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WidgetDaily at 4.6 against Widget Toolbox's 4.2. WidgetDaily also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Widget Toolbox's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 10) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WidgetDaily holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of WidgetDaily's written reviews are positive against 88% of Widget Toolbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WidgetDaily ships an update every 2 days, Widget Toolbox every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
