# StepBet vs PitPat

The clearest difference is monetization model: StepBet at free with in-app purchases against PitPat's subscription. StepBet also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (23K vs 72). PitPat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, 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 PitPat sells 9 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 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StepBet has 23K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of StepBet's written reviews are positive against 32% of PitPat's.

StepBet ships an update every 10 days, PitPat every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
