# Today's Widget vs Smart Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Widget at 4.3 against Today's Widget's 3.5. Smart Widget also leads on ratings volume (881 vs 8) and review sentiment (67% vs 50%). Today's Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Today's Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smart Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Widget has 881 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Today's Widget's written reviews are positive against 67% of Smart Widget's.
