# WidgetPack vs Ruddarr

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).

Both are free to download. WidgetPack sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Ruddarr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
