# Offline vs Float

The clearest difference is update cadence: Float at every 4 days against Offline's every 2 weeks. Float also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 49%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Offline's advantage is ratings volume (132K vs 8.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Offline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Float sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Offline against 4.7 for Float. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Offline has 132K ratings behind it against 8.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Offline's written reviews are positive against 64% of Float's.

Offline ships an update every 2 weeks, Float every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
