# StepBet vs Red Tomatoes

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.

Both are free to download. StepBet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. Red Tomatoes asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

StepBet ships an update every 10 days, Red Tomatoes fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
