# Themify vs Interactive Widgets

The clearest difference is monetization model: Interactive Widgets at free with in-app purchases against Themify's subscription. Interactive Widgets also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 45%). Themify's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themify sells 10 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.

Themify holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themify has 342K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Themify's written reviews are positive against 56% of Interactive Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Themify ships an update fortnightly, Interactive Widgets every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
