Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: List Three at 100% against 5 Second Rule's 45%. List Three also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). 5 Second Rule's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (10K vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

5 Second Rule holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 Second Rule has 10K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of List Three's written reviews are positive against 45% of 5 Second Rule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
