Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WebMeter at weekly against Web Widget's every 14 months. WebMeter also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 43%). Web Widget's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Web Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WebMeter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Web Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Web Widget's written reviews are positive against 70% of WebMeter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Web Widget ships an update every 14 months, WebMeter weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
