# My Widgets vs Widgets Maker

The clearest difference is ads: My Widgets at none against Widgets Maker's shown. My Widgets also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Widgets Maker's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Widgets sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Widgets Maker sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Widgets Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 413 and 203 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of My Widgets's written reviews are positive against 28% of Widgets Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Widgets ships an update every 5 weeks, Widgets Maker every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
