# Widgets Flow vs Await

The clearest difference is ads: Await at none against Widgets Flow's shown. Await also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Widgets Flow's advantage is ratings volume (238 vs 4) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Widgets Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Await sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Await holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgets Flow has 238 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Widgets Flow's written reviews are positive against 93% of Await's.

Widgets Flow ships an update fortnightly, Await every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 19, 2026.
