Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Favorites Widget Pro at 4.4 against Dark Rem's 3.3. Favorites Widget Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 34). Dark Rem's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Favorites Widget Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Dark Rem sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Favorites Widget Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Favorites Widget Pro has 3.8K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Favorites Widget Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dark Rem's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Favorites Widget Pro ships an update every 4 days, Dark Rem every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
