# Off Remote vs Focus & Mindfulness

The clearest difference is monetization model: Focus & Mindfulness at free with in-app purchases against Off Remote's subscription. Focus & Mindfulness also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (578 vs 56). Off Remote's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (56% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Off Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Focus & Mindfulness sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Focus & Mindfulness holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus & Mindfulness has 578 ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Off Remote's written reviews are positive against 38% of Focus & Mindfulness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Off Remote ships an update every 2 weeks, Focus & Mindfulness every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
