# FivePointFive vs The Lifetime Athlete

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Lifetime Athlete at 100% against FivePointFive's 59%. The Lifetime Athlete also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FivePointFive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 7). 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 The Lifetime Athlete sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $37.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Lifetime Athlete holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 4.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of FivePointFive's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Lifetime Athlete's.
