# Icon Skins Maker vs Widgets Maker

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.

Both are free to download. Icon Skins Maker sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Widgets Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgets Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 253 and 203 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Icon Skins Maker's written reviews are positive against 28% of Widgets Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Icon Skins Maker ships an update every 2 months, Widgets Maker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
