No Nimbus account required. Optional cloud inference. No telemetry. Models you choose are downloaded to your device and run locally. Processing stays on your phone unless you explicitly enable optional network features (such as web search or a BYOK cloud provider in Cirrus). Purchase Nimbus8 Pro once through Apple In-App Purchase. Restore anytime with your Apple ID. Family Sharing follows Apple's IAP rules. Privacy policy: https://trynimbus.org/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Nimbus8 at Free against Offline Ai's $0.99. Nimbus8 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). Offline Ai's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (18.5 vs 26.0). On ads there is nothing between them.
