Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BHSD228 at 3.0 against 5's 1.4. 5's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 0%) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BHSD228 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5 has 6.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of 5's written reviews are positive against 0% of BHSD228's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
5 ships an update monthly, BHSD228 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
