Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TP at 2.3 against 5G看家's 1.0. TP also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). 5G看家's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 32%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 5G看家 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. TP asks for nothing beyond the download.
TP holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 59 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TP's written reviews are positive against 67% of 5G看家's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TP ships an update every 3 weeks, 5G看家 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
