Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ScriptWidget at Free against Cown Zoo's $1.99. ScriptWidget also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (93 vs 3). Cown Zoo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ScriptWidget holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScriptWidget has 93 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of ScriptWidget's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cown Zoo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ScriptWidget ships an update monthly, Cown Zoo every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
