# Flare vs OffScript

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flare at none against OffScript's 19. Flare also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 10). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OffScript sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Flare asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Flare against 4.9 for OffScript. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flare has 6.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of Flare's written reviews are positive against 100% of OffScript's.

Flare ships an update every 2 days, OffScript every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
