Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widget Trivia at none against Trivia's 2. Widget Trivia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). Trivia's advantage is ratings volume (9.9K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
