Both are free to download. Photo Widget ‧ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and App ICON Changer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

App ICON Changer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App ICON Changer has 867 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Photo Widget ‧'s written reviews are positive against 52% of App ICON Changer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Photo Widget ‧ ships an update every 4 months, App ICON Changer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
