How Long Until? makes waiting visible. Create a countdown for a date that matters. See how long remains, then keep track of the time since it happened. Add an optional time, choose a time zone, repeat an event weekly, monthly or yearly, and make every count feel like your own. Keep the next count on your Home Screen with a widget. On iPhone, you can also choose one event for the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Add local reminders, a photo, a color and one of seven visual styles. Your events stay on your device. There are no accounts, servers, analytics or ads. Export a backup whenever you choose, including photos, and restore it on another device yourself. How Long Until? is free and accepts no payments of any kind.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: How Long Until? at none against Deferred's 1. How Long Until? also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Deferred's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
