# Top Widgets vs iWidget

The clearest difference is rating: iWidget at 5.0 against Top Widgets's 1.4. Top Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Top Widgets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and iWidget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iWidget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Top Widgets has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Top Widgets ships an update every 3 weeks, iWidget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
