# FivePointFive vs BurnBar

The clearest difference is ads: FivePointFive at none against BurnBar's shown. FivePointFive also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 458) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). BurnBar's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 59%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and BurnBar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. 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 BurnBar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 5.2K ratings behind it against 458, so its average is the more settled of the two.
