# ThemePlus vs Widget Custom HomeScreen

The clearest difference is monetization model: ThemePlus at free with in-app purchases against Widget Custom HomeScreen's subscription. ThemePlus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly). Widget Custom HomeScreen's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThemePlus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Widget Custom HomeScreen sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ThemePlus holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Custom HomeScreen has 2.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ThemePlus's written reviews are positive against 26% of Widget Custom HomeScreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ThemePlus ships an update every 2 days, Widget Custom HomeScreen monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
