# Engross vs offtime

The clearest difference is rating: offtime at 5.0 against Engross's 4.6. Engross's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Engross sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and offtime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

offtime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Engross has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Engross ships an update every 4 weeks, offtime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
