# WidgetArt vs 1PS Widgets

The clearest difference is monetization model: 1PS Widgets at free with in-app purchases against WidgetArt's subscription. 1PS Widgets also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). WidgetArt's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (50 vs 9). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetArt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per year and 1PS Widgets sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for WidgetArt against 4.8 for 1PS Widgets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WidgetArt has 50 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WidgetArt ships an update every 5 weeks, 1PS Widgets fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
