# Pro Widget vs WidgetArt

The clearest difference is rating: WidgetArt at 4.8 against Pro Widget's 4.2. WidgetArt also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 50%) and ads (none vs shown). Pro Widget's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). 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 WidgetArt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WidgetArt holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 175 and 50 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Pro Widget's written reviews are positive against 88% of WidgetArt's.
