# IUV vs In Widget

The clearest difference is rating: In Widget at 4.2 against IUV's 3.5. In Widget also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 2). IUV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IUV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and In Widget sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

In Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: In Widget has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

IUV ships an update weekly, In Widget every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
