# Lock Screen Widgets App vs wg

The clearest difference is rating: Lock Screen Widgets App at 4.4 against wg's 3.0. Lock Screen Widgets App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). wg's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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 wg sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, 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 50% of wg'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, wg every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
