Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Widgetal at 4.4 against Widget Box's 2.0. Widgetal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (589 vs 1). Widget Box's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Box sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Widgetal sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Widgetal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgetal has 589 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Widget Box ships an update weekly, Widgetal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
