# My Widgets vs Simple Widgets

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Simple Widgets at 100% against My Widgets's 51%. Simple Widgets also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). My Widgets's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (355 vs 19). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Widgets sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Simple Widgets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Widgets has 355 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of My Widgets's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simple Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Widgets ships an update every 3 months, Simple Widgets every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
