# Widgett vs Widgetal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Widgett at 51% against Widgetal's 21%. Widgett also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Widgetal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (589 vs 127). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgett sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days 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.

Widgetal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 127 and 589 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Widgett's written reviews are positive against 21% of Widgetal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Widgett ships an update weekly, Widgetal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
