Both are free to download. StandBy 27 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and StandBy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

StandBy 27 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 96 and 44 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of StandBy 27's written reviews are positive against 60% of StandBy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StandBy 27 ships an update every 4 weeks, StandBy every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
