Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: 桌面单词 at none against Widget Learner's shown. 桌面单词 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Widget Learner's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
