# WidgetArt vs Widgetime

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.

Both are free to download. WidgetArt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per year and Widgetime sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgetime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WidgetArt has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WidgetArt ships an update every 5 weeks, Widgetime every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
