Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RoastGPT at 4.6 against Off Remote's 3.8. RoastGPT also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 56). Off Remote's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 17%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. Off Remote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and RoastGPT sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RoastGPT holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoastGPT has 1.3K 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 17% of RoastGPT'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, RoastGPT monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
