# Widget vs My Widgets

The clearest difference is monetization model: My Widgets at free with in-app purchases against Widget's subscription. My Widgets also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (352 vs 101). Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and My Widgets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 101 and 352 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Widget's written reviews are positive against 51% of My Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Widget ships an update every 3 days, My Widgets every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
