# Lock Screen Widgets App vs Widgett

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widgett at freemium against Lock Screen Widgets App's subscription. Widgett also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 29%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Lock Screen Widgets App's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 127). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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 Widgett sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 127, 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 51% of Widgett'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, Widgett weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
