Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ANKO at free with in-app purchases against Lock Screen Widgets App's subscription. ANKO also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 29%). Lock Screen Widgets App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 33). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 ANKO sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 33, 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 62% of ANKO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
