Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widgets Pro at none against DIY Widgets's 3. Widgets Pro also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 8%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). DIY Widgets's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DIY Widgets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Widgets Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DIY Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DIY Widgets has 169 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of DIY Widgets's written reviews are positive against 25% of Widgets Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DIY Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, Widgets Pro monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
