Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Step Stats at 4.3 against StepCard's 3.9. Step Stats also leads on iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). StepCard's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 5 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StepCard sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Step Stats sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Step Stats holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of StepCard's written reviews are positive against 50% of Step Stats's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

StepCard ships an update every 3 months, Step Stats every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
