Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: App Icon Maker & Custom Theme at 70% against Christmas Widgets's 20%.

Christmas Widgets's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
