Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Widgets Flow at 4.7 against Alive Widgets's 3.7. Widgets Flow also leads on ratings volume (238 vs 3) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Alive Widgets's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alive Widgets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Widgets Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widgets Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets Flow has 238 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Alive Widgets's written reviews are positive against 83% of Widgets Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Alive Widgets ships an update weekly, Widgets Flow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
