Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Steppy Pants at 4.6 against Spunge Invaders's 3.8. Steppy Pants also leads on ratings volume (50K vs 11). Spunge Invaders's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spunge Invaders sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Steppy Pants sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Steppy Pants holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steppy Pants has 50K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Spunge Invaders's written reviews are positive against 61% of Steppy Pants's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spunge Invaders ships an update every 10 days, Steppy Pants every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
