# WidgetClub vs LockWidget

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.

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.

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