# MagicWidgets vs Widget quotes for Home Screen

The clearest difference is rating: MagicWidgets at 4.7 against Widget quotes for Home Screen's 4.1. MagicWidgets also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 37). Widget quotes for Home Screen's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly).

Both are free to download. MagicWidgets sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Widget quotes for Home Screen sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
