Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Favorites Widget Pro at 4.4 against HEAVN Software Update's 2.6. Favorites Widget Pro also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 5). HEAVN Software Update's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Favorites Widget Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HEAVN Software Update asks for nothing beyond the download.
Favorites Widget Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Favorites Widget Pro has 3.8K ratings behind it against 5, 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 HEAVN Software Update'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, HEAVN Software Update every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
