Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Cape at free with in-app purchases against Lock Screen Widgets App's subscription. Cape also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 29%) and ratings volume (15K vs 1.1K). Lock Screen Widgets App's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.4). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lock Screen Widgets App sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Cape sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cape holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cape has 15K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's written reviews are positive against 58% of Cape's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
