# Pixlay vs Widget Show

The clearest difference is ads: Widget Show at none against Pixlay's shown. Pixlay's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pixlay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Widget Show sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
