Verdict

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ooma Setup holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ooma Setup has 1.7K ratings behind it against 289, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Ooma Setup's written reviews are positive against 36% of SofaBaton's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ooma Setup ships an update every 2 months, SofaBaton every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
