# FivePointFive vs Dead Hang Timer

FivePointFive and Dead Hang Timer both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Dead Hang Timer's written reviews are positive against 59% of FivePointFive's. FivePointFive's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 8) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads 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 Dead Hang Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dead Hang Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 5.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
