Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ruddarr at 4.9 against WidgetPack's 3.7. Ruddarr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (696 vs 6). WidgetPack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
