# FivePointFive vs runo

The clearest difference is ratings volume: FivePointFive at 5.2K against runo's 157. FivePointFive also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#172 vs unranked). runo's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and runo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FivePointFive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 5.2K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of FivePointFive's written reviews are positive against 65% of runo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FivePointFive ships an update every 4 days, runo every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
