# Presmo vs Ground5

The clearest difference is ads: Presmo at none against Ground5's shown. Presmo also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (67 vs 4). Ground5's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Presmo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Ground5 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ground5 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Presmo has 67 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Presmo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ground5's.

Presmo ships an update every 8 days, Ground5 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
