Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Widget Quotes at none against Quotes Widget's shown. Widget Quotes also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (529 vs 19). Quotes Widget's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 35%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Widget Quotes sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and Quotes Widget sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Widget Quotes against 4.6 for Quotes Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Quotes has 529 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of Widget Quotes's written reviews are positive against 43% of Quotes Widget's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Widget Quotes ships an update daily, Quotes Widget fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
