# Widget Vocabulary vs Wally

The clearest difference is ads: Wally at none against Widget Vocabulary's shown. Wally also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). Widget Vocabulary's advantage is ratings volume (505 vs 7) and chart position (#152 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widget Vocabulary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Wally sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wally holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Vocabulary has 505 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Widget Vocabulary ships an update every 8 days, Wally every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
