# Widget Cat vs SUMO

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SUMO at none against Widget Cat's 10. SUMO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Widget Cat's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Cat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. SUMO asks for nothing beyond the download.
