Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Icon Skins Maker at 78% against Widgets Maker's 28%. Icon Skins Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14.0). Widgets Maker's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
