# OffScreen vs GoodSleep

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GoodSleep at 94% against OffScreen's 41%. GoodSleep also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). OffScreen's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OffScreen sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and GoodSleep sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OffScreen holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OffScreen has 2.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of OffScreen's written reviews are positive against 94% of GoodSleep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OffScreen ships an update every 3 weeks, GoodSleep every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
