# Widgetal vs Widgets Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widgets Pro at none against Widgetal's 8. Widgets Pro also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Widgetal's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (589 vs 17). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgetal sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 3 months. Widgets Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Widgetal holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgetal has 589 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Widgetal's written reviews are positive against 25% of Widgets Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Widgetal ships an update every 3 weeks, Widgets Pro monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
