# Lock Screen Widgets App vs Transparent Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Lock Screen Widgets App at 4.4 against Transparent Widget's 3.7. Lock Screen Widgets App also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 51). Transparent Widget's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 29%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lock Screen Widgets App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Transparent Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. 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 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's written reviews are positive against 46% of Transparent Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lock Screen Widgets App ships an update every 3 weeks, Transparent Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
