The clearest difference is rating: Colton Joint USD at 4.3 against 5's 1.4. Colton Joint USD also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 5's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 0%).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Colton Joint USD holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 has 6.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of 5's written reviews are positive against 0% of Colton Joint USD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
5 ships an update monthly, Colton Joint USD every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
