Fans like you have the ability to influence the rankings of their favorite athletes, singers, celebrities, TV, movies, and pretty much anything that can be ranked. Ranker has something for everyone - including spooky stories in Graveyard Shift, historical tales in Weird History, definitive cosplay, manga and fan art rankings in Anime Underground, Marvel, DC, and indie comics polls in Total Nerd, and Unsolved Mysteries in Unspeakable Times.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ranker at none against TheTopFive's 1. Ranker also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). TheTopFive's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
