# Vow Timer vs Wedding Countdown Widget

The clearest difference is rating: Wedding Countdown Widget at 4.8 against Vow Timer's 4.1. Wedding Countdown Widget also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Vow Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wedding Countdown Widget sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Vow Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wedding Countdown Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wedding Countdown Widget has 1.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Vow Timer's written reviews are positive against 55% of Wedding Countdown Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vow Timer ships an update every 4 months, Wedding Countdown Widget every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
