Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Live Activities at none against Widgets Flow's 3. Widgets Flow's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Widgets Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Live Activities asks for nothing beyond the download.
Widgets Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets Flow has 230 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Live Activities's written reviews are positive against 85% of Widgets Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Live Activities ships an update every 6 weeks, Widgets Flow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
