Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. AnyWidget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Widgets 26 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widgets 26 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets 26 has 1.3K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of AnyWidget's written reviews are positive against 39% of Widgets 26's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AnyWidget ships an update every 3 months, Widgets 26 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
