# Offtop vs Baton

The clearest difference is ads: Offtop at none against Baton's shown. Offtop also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 248) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Baton's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (62% vs 51%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Offtop sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Baton sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Offtop against 4.6 for Baton. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Offtop has 4.4K ratings behind it against 248, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Offtop's written reviews are positive against 62% of Baton's.

Offtop ships an update every 3 weeks, Baton weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
