Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TapBTC at Free against Bitcoin Price Widget's $0.99. TapBTC also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Bitcoin Price Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
