# WidgetLink vs Widget Construction Set

The clearest difference is rating: Widget Construction Set at 4.3 against WidgetLink's 3.6. WidgetLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (18 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Construction Set sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WidgetLink asks for nothing beyond the download.

Widget Construction Set holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of WidgetLink's written reviews are positive against 50% of Widget Construction Set's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
