# Icon Widget vs Icon Changer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Icon Changer at 100% against Icon Widget's 22%. Icon Changer also leads on rating (3.5 vs 2.0). Icon Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (20 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Icon Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days and Icon Changer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
