Verdict

The call

StepBet and Red Tomatoes both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Red Tomatoes's written reviews are positive against 35% of StepBet's. Red Tomatoes also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). StepBet's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 18). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for StepBet against 4.7 for Red Tomatoes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepBet has 23K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 35% of StepBet's written reviews are positive against 100% of Red Tomatoes's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
