# 美篇 vs Widgelytics

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 美篇 at 90% against Widgelytics's 23%. 美篇 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 65). Widgelytics's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 美篇 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Widgelytics sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

美篇 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 美篇 has 3.7K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of 美篇's written reviews are positive against 23% of Widgelytics's.

美篇 ships an update every 9 days, Widgelytics fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
