# Flipd vs Offtime

Flipd and Offtime both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Offtime's written reviews are positive against 49% of Flipd's. Flipd's advantage is ratings volume (7K vs 3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flipd sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Offtime sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flipd holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flipd has 7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Flipd's written reviews are positive against 86% of Offtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flipd ships an update every 11 days, Offtime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
