# OffScreen vs Clarymind

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clarymind at 83% against OffScreen's 39%. Clarymind also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). OffScreen's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 52). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OffScreen sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Clarymind sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clarymind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OffScreen has 2.5K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of OffScreen's written reviews are positive against 83% of Clarymind's.

OffScreen ships an update every 4 weeks, Clarymind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
