Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WidgetCal at 3.6 against Widget D's 1.0. WidgetCal also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). Widget D's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WidgetCal sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Widget D sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WidgetCal holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WidgetCal has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of WidgetCal's written reviews are positive against 50% of Widget D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
