# Pro Widget vs Lock Screen Widgets App

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pro Widget at free with in-app purchases against Lock Screen Widgets App's subscription. Pro Widget also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Lock Screen Widgets App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Widget sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Lock Screen Widgets App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lock Screen Widgets App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 175, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pro Widget's written reviews are positive against 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pro Widget ships an update every 4 days, Lock Screen Widgets App every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
