Verdict
Stepik and GetCourse both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of Stepik's written reviews are positive against 28% of GetCourse's. Stepik also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). GetCourse's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 908). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stepik sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and GetCourse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Stepik against 4.9 for GetCourse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GetCourse has 14K ratings behind it against 908, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Stepik's written reviews are positive against 28% of GetCourse's.
Stepik ships an update weekly, GetCourse every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
