# DepthWall vs Widgets 27

The clearest difference is monetization model: Widgets 27 at free with in-app purchases against DepthWall's subscription. Widgets 27 also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 4). DepthWall's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.2 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DepthWall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Widgets 27 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DepthWall holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets 27 has 1.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DepthWall ships an update fortnightly, Widgets 27 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
