# FivePointFive vs Endorphins Running

FivePointFive and Endorphins Running both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 99% of Endorphins Running's written reviews are positive against 59% of FivePointFive's. Endorphins Running also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.6). FivePointFive's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#72 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and Endorphins Running sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for FivePointFive against 4.9 for Endorphins Running. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 4.5K ratings behind it against 879, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of FivePointFive's written reviews are positive against 99% of Endorphins Running's.
