Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: eWidget at free with in-app purchases against ThemeBox's subscription. ThemeBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (514 vs 14). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThemeBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and eWidget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.6 for ThemeBox against 3.8 for eWidget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThemeBox has 514 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of ThemeBox's written reviews are positive against 53% of eWidget's.
ThemeBox ships an update every 5 days, eWidget every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
