# Await vs Simple CountDown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple CountDown at none against Await's 1. Simple CountDown also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Await's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Await sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Simple CountDown asks for nothing beyond the download.
