# Widgit vs Live Activities

Widgit and Live Activities both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Live Activities's written reviews are positive against 48% of Widgit's. Widgit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
