Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WowKit at 75% against Lock Screen Widgets's 33%. WowKit also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 107). Lock Screen Widgets's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WowKit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Lock Screen Widgets sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lock Screen Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WowKit has 1.5K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of WowKit's written reviews are positive against 33% of Lock Screen Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WowKit ships an update every 10 days, Lock Screen Widgets every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 4, 2026 respectively.
