# Widget Shortcuts vs SuperWidget

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.

Both are free to download. Widget Shortcuts sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and SuperWidget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SuperWidget holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperWidget has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Widget Shortcuts's written reviews are positive against 33% of SuperWidget's.

Widget Shortcuts ships an update daily, SuperWidget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
