# Icon Changer vs Widgetal

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Icon Changer at 100% against Widgetal's 21%. Icon Changer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Widgetal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Icon Changer sells 3 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 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgetal has 591 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Icon Changer'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.

Icon Changer ships an update every 6 weeks, Widgetal every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
