Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FivePointFive at none against CheerMyRun's shown. FivePointFive also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 33%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). CheerMyRun's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and CheerMyRun sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
FivePointFive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 5K ratings behind it against 384, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of FivePointFive's written reviews are positive against 33% of CheerMyRun's.
FivePointFive ships an update every 5 days, CheerMyRun every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
