# Pixel Widget vs Widgets 27

Pixel Widget and Widgets 27 both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Pixel Widget's written reviews are positive against 41% of Widgets 27's. Pixel Widget also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). Widgets 27's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixel Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Widgets 27 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgets 27 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets 27 has 1.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Pixel Widget's written reviews are positive against 41% of Widgets 27's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pixel Widget ships an update every 2 weeks, Widgets 27 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
