Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AWS Console at 42% against AWS GraphWidget's 0%. AWS Console also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). AWS GraphWidget's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AWS GraphWidget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AWS Console has 6.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of AWS Console's written reviews are positive against 0% of AWS GraphWidget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AWS Console ships an update fortnightly, AWS GraphWidget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
