Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Widgets 26 at none against Themes's shown. Widgets 26 also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 19%). Themes's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
