Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Favorites Widget Pro at none against Fun Widget's shown. Favorites Widget Pro also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 25) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Fun Widget's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
