# FivePointFive vs Path

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Path at 100% against FivePointFive's 58%. Path also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). FivePointFive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (5K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and Path sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Path holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of FivePointFive's written reviews are positive against 100% of Path's.

FivePointFive ships an update every 5 days, Path every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
