# FivePointFive vs Coherence

The clearest difference is monetization model: FivePointFive at free with in-app purchases against Coherence's subscription. FivePointFive also leads on chart position (#85 vs unranked) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 597). Coherence's advantage is review sentiment (85% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and Coherence sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 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 4.8 for Coherence. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 4.9K ratings behind it against 597, 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 85% of Coherence's.

FivePointFive ships an update every 5 days, Coherence every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
