Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: WidgetClub at free with in-app purchases against LockWidget's subscription. WidgetClub also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). LockWidget's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 2.6K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetClub sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LockWidget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WidgetClub holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LockWidget has 28K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of WidgetClub's written reviews are positive against 56% of LockWidget's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WidgetClub ships an update every 5 days, LockWidget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
