Both are free to download. Hands Time sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Void Widgets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Void Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Void Widgets has 98 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Hands Time's written reviews are positive against 62% of Void Widgets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
