Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: UV Reminders at 100% against OffScreen's 41%. UV Reminders also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). OffScreen's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 13). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
