# WidgetKit vs eWidget

The clearest difference is ads: WidgetKit at none against eWidget's shown. WidgetKit also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (224 vs 14). eWidget's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 27%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetKit sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and eWidget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WidgetKit holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WidgetKit has 224 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of WidgetKit's written reviews are positive against 53% of eWidget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WidgetKit ships an update every 10 days, eWidget every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
