Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Countdown Widget Timer at Free against Await's $1.99. Countdown Widget Timer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (484 vs 2). Await's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

Countdown Widget Timer is free to download; Await costs $1.99 up front. Countdown Widget Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Await asks for nothing beyond the download.
Countdown Widget Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Countdown Widget Timer has 484 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Await's written reviews are positive against 43% of Countdown Widget Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Await ships an update every 8 months, Countdown Widget Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
