Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GuideBlue at none against Sofa Time's 2. GuideBlue also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Sofa Time's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. Sofa Time sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. GuideBlue asks for nothing beyond the download.
GuideBlue holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sofa Time has 2.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Sofa Time's written reviews are positive against 100% of GuideBlue's.
Sofa Time ships an update every 5 days, GuideBlue every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
