# FivePointFive vs GroundApp

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GroundApp at 100% against FivePointFive's 59%. GroundApp also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). FivePointFive's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 11) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). 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 GroundApp sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GroundApp holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FivePointFive has 4.9K ratings behind it against 11, 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 GroundApp's.

FivePointFive ships an update every 5 days, GroundApp every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
