When you finish, 5x5 bumps your weights for next time automatically ā and backs off intelligently when you stall.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 5x5 at none against TWENTY's 2. TWENTY's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
