# Cover5 vs Sportrix

The clearest difference is rating: Sportrix at 4.6 against Cover5's 2.9. Sportrix also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 35) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). Cover5's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sportrix sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Cover5 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sportrix holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sportrix has 2.3K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Cover5's written reviews are positive against 31% of Sportrix's.

Cover5 ships an update every 9 days, Sportrix every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
