Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Stepik at 69% against 1С's 14%. Stepik also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stepik sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 1С sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
