# 百度输入法 vs widget桌面小组件

The clearest difference is rating: widget桌面小组件 at 5.0 against 百度输入法's 4.4. 百度输入法's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度输入法 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and widget桌面小组件 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

widget桌面小组件 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度输入法 has 1.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

百度输入法 ships an update every 5 days, widget桌面小组件 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
