Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Themes © at none against Smart Widget's shown. Themes © also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Smart Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (882 vs 71). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
