# Jomo vs offtime

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Jomo at 2.4K against offtime's 1. Jomo also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). offtime's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jomo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Jomo ships an update every 2 weeks, offtime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
