# StepBet vs 1st Phorm

StepBet and 1st Phorm both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of 1st Phorm's written reviews are positive against 35% of StepBet's. 1st Phorm also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). StepBet's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 5.6K). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StepBet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and 1st Phorm sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StepBet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 23K and 5.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of StepBet's written reviews are positive against 70% of 1st Phorm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StepBet ships an update every 10 days, 1st Phorm every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
