# Widgets vs Widgets Flow

The clearest difference is ads: Widgets at none against Widgets Flow's shown. Widgets also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Widgets Flow's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (248 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days 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.

Widgets holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets Flow has 248 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Widgets ships an update every 5 months, Widgets Flow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
