Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fun Widget at 4.5 against Simple Widgets's 4.2. Fun Widget also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Simple Widgets's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
