Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Favorites Widget Pro at 73% against Data Activity Widget's 25%. Favorites Widget Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 7). Data Activity Widget's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Favorites Widget Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Data Activity Widget sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Data Activity Widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Favorites Widget Pro has 3.8K ratings behind it against 7, 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 25% of Data Activity Widget'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 5 days, Data Activity Widget every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
