# WidgetBoard vs Deep Dive

The clearest difference is rating: Deep Dive at 5.0 against WidgetBoard's 4.4. Deep Dive also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). WidgetBoard's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetBoard sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Deep Dive sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.69 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Dive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WidgetBoard has 35 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
