Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
5F Freight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5F Freight has 1.7K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of TruckingOffice ELD'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.
TruckingOffice ELD ships an update every 4 months, 5F Freight every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
