Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Verizon Cloud at 4.6 against Widget's 2.3. Verizon Cloud also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (69% vs 38%). Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.4). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
