# FivePointFive vs Macrobite

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Macrobite at 100% against FivePointFive's 59%. Macrobite also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FivePointFive's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 23) and chart position (#96 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FivePointFive sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $44.99 per 3 months and Macrobite sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Macrobite 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 23, 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 Macrobite's.
