Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HomeBase at 100% against OffBlock's 48%. HomeBase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). OffBlock's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OffBlock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and HomeBase sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HomeBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OffBlock has 104 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of OffBlock's written reviews are positive against 100% of HomeBase's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
