# ApowerWidgets vs Widgetal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ApowerWidgets at 69% against Widgetal's 21%. ApowerWidgets also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Widgetal's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (589 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ApowerWidgets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 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.

ApowerWidgets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. 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. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of ApowerWidgets's written reviews are positive against 21% of Widgetal's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
