Verdict
Widget and Simple Widgets both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Simple Widgets's written reviews are positive against 58% of Widget's. Simple Widgets also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (100 vs 19). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
