Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FivePointFive at none against MurphMaster's shown. FivePointFive also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 1) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). MurphMaster's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 MurphMaster sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MurphMaster 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
