# My Widgets vs Color Widgets

The clearest difference is rating: Color Widgets at 4.6 against My Widgets's 3.9. Color Widgets also leads on ratings volume (524K vs 413) and chart position (#90 vs unranked). My Widgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
