# Five vs MarbleJumper

The clearest difference is rating: Five at 4.7 against MarbleJumper's 4.0. Five also leads on ratings volume (57 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). MarbleJumper's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Five sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MarbleJumper sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Five holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Five has 57 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Five ships an update fortnightly, MarbleJumper every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
