# Off vs Wake

The clearest difference is rating: Off at 4.5 against Wake's 2.1. Off also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (498 vs 9). Wake's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Off sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Wake asks for nothing beyond the download.

Off holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Off has 498 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of Off's written reviews are positive against 31% of Wake's.

Off ships an update every 3 weeks, Wake every 19 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
