# My Widgets vs PlopNote

The clearest difference is rating: PlopNote at 4.5 against My Widgets's 3.9. PlopNote also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 54%). My Widgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (413 vs 8). On price, update cadence, 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 PlopNote sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlopNote holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Widgets has 413 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of My Widgets's written reviews are positive against 93% of PlopNote's.

My Widgets ships an update every 5 weeks, PlopNote monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
