# Widgit vs iTheme

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widgit at none against iTheme's 5. Widgit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (146 vs 21). iTheme's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 48%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTheme sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Widgit asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Widgit against 4.6 for iTheme. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgit has 146 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Widgit's written reviews are positive against 80% of iTheme's.

Widgit ships an update monthly, iTheme fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
