Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Smart Widget at 67% against Share Widget's 25%. Smart Widget also leads on ratings volume (882 vs 93). Share Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, 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. Smart Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Share Widget sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Share Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Widget has 882 ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Smart Widget's written reviews are positive against 25% of Share Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smart Widget ships an update every 10 days, Share Widget every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
