5F Freight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5F Freight has 1.7K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Circle Mobile TMS's written reviews are positive against 23% of 5F Freight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Circle Mobile TMS ships an update every 6 weeks, 5F Freight every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
