Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SubWidget at Free against Emphasize One Animated's $2.99. SubWidget also leads on ratings volume (71 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Emphasize One Animated's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
