# Align vs Affirmation Widget Lock Screen

The clearest difference is rating: Affirmation Widget Lock Screen at 5.0 against Align's 4.2. Affirmation Widget Lock Screen also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). Align's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Align sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Affirmation Widget Lock Screen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Affirmation Widget Lock Screen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Align has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
