# Widgets for LockScreen vs Lock Screen Launcher

The clearest difference is rating: Lock Screen Launcher at 4.7 against Widgets for LockScreen's 4.0. Lock Screen Launcher also leads on ratings volume (137 vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks). Widgets for LockScreen's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgets for LockScreen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Lock Screen Launcher sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lock Screen Launcher holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Launcher has 137 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Widgets for LockScreen's written reviews are positive against 60% of Lock Screen Launcher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
