# FivePointFive vs RunRX Academy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RunRX Academy at 100% against FivePointFive's 59%. RunRX Academy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). FivePointFive's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). 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 RunRX Academy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $99.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RunRX Academy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 4.5K ratings behind it against 2, 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 RunRX Academy's.

FivePointFive ships an update every 5 days, RunRX Academy fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
