# Theme Store vs Share Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Share Widget at 4.6 against Theme Store's 2.9. Share Widget also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Theme Store's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Theme Store sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Share Widget sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Share Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 92 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Theme Store's written reviews are positive against 25% of Share Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Theme Store ships an update monthly, Share Widget every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
