Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widgetime at freemium against WidgetArt's subscription. Widgetime also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). WidgetArt's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
