  • "I will be there by 5" I will have been there by 5 " Thank you It's impossible to say which is better because you've given no context.

Setting up circumstances for using the second example would not be very easy. It isn't a probable sentence. Use the first one.

I will meet you are the theater. I will be there by 5. (I won't be any later than 5.)
