# Art Widget+ vs Custom Widgets

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Custom Widgets at 100% against Art Widget+'s 38%. Custom Widgets also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Art Widget+'s advantage is ratings volume (142 vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Art Widget+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Custom Widgets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Custom Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Art Widget+ has 142 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Art Widget+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Custom Widgets's.

Art Widget+ ships an update every 2 weeks, Custom Widgets every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
