Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iTheme at free with in-app purchases against Photo Widget's subscription. Photo Widget's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTheme sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Photo Widget sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for iTheme against 4.5 for Photo Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Widget has 187 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of iTheme's written reviews are positive against 100% of Photo Widget's.
iTheme ships an update fortnightly, Photo Widget every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
