Verdict

The call

WidgetX and Icon Changer both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of WidgetX's written reviews are positive against 9% of Icon Changer's. Icon Changer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
