# Five vs Zero?

The clearest difference is rating: Five at 4.7 against Zero?'s 3.3. Five also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (57 vs 4). Zero?'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Five sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Zero? asks for nothing beyond the download.

Five holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Five has 57 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Five's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zero?'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Five ships an update fortnightly, Zero? every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
