WORKS WITH SHORTCUTS Anything in the Shortcuts app can be passed as a value to a widget in SuperWidget, enabling an unlimited creativity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SuperWidget at 4.4 against Widget Shortcuts's 1.0. SuperWidget also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). Widget Shortcuts's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
