# 5K Runner vs Consistent

The clearest difference is monetization model: Consistent at free with in-app purchases against 5K Runner's subscription. Consistent also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). 5K Runner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (118K vs 3). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 5K Runner sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 3 months and Consistent sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for 5K Runner against 5.0 for Consistent. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5K Runner has 118K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of 5K Runner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Consistent's.
