# ScreenKit vs Interactive Widgets

ScreenKit and Interactive Widgets both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 56% of Interactive Widgets's written reviews are positive against 16% of ScreenKit's. ScreenKit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (55K vs 27). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScreenKit sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Interactive Widgets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Interactive Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScreenKit has 55K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of ScreenKit's written reviews are positive against 56% of Interactive Widgets's.

ScreenKit ships an update monthly, Interactive Widgets every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
