# Mico vs Micro Widget

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Micro Widget at 100% against Mico's 63%. Micro Widget also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mico's advantage is ratings volume (101K vs 25) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mico sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Micro Widget sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Micro Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mico has 101K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Mico's written reviews are positive against 100% of Micro Widget's.

Mico ships an update every 9 days, Micro Widget every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
