Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: EvaluWise at 40% against 5's 8%. EvaluWise also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). 5's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
