# Hands Time vs Koco Widgets

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Koco Widgets at 333 against Hands Time's 13. Koco Widgets also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hands Time sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Koco Widgets sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Hands Time against 4.6 for Koco Widgets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Koco Widgets has 333 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Hands Time's written reviews are positive against 70% of Koco Widgets's.

Hands Time ships an update every 2 weeks, Koco Widgets weekly. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
