# Smart Widget vs Widgett

The clearest difference is ads: Widgett at none against Smart Widget's shown. Smart Widget's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 51%) and ratings volume (881 vs 127). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Widgett sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Smart Widget against 4.2 for Widgett. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Widget has 881 ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Smart Widget's written reviews are positive against 51% of Widgett's.

Smart Widget ships an update every 10 days, Widgett weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
