# Like Widget vs Widget Studio

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Like Widget at 1.9K against Widget Studio's 6. Like Widget also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Like Widget sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Widget Studio sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Like Widget against 4.8 for Widget Studio. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Like Widget has 1.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
