Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WidgetX at 100% against ThemeBox's 51%. WidgetX also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.0 vs 3.6). ThemeBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (514 vs 20). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
