# Widgett vs Status

The clearest difference is rating: Status at 5.0 against Widgett's 4.2. Status also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 51%). Widgett's advantage is ratings volume (127 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgett sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Status sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Status holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgett has 127 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Widgett's written reviews are positive against 75% of Status's.

Widgett ships an update weekly, Status every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
