Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Widget at every 3 weeks against Ever After's every 5 months. Widget also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Ever After's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ever After sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Widget sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Ever After against 5.0 for Widget. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ever After has 3.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Ever After ships an update every 5 months, Widget every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
