Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: POSTWidget at none against RestForge's shown. POSTWidget also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). RestForge's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
