# Steppy Pants vs Glides

The clearest difference is monetization model: Glides at free with in-app purchases against Steppy Pants's subscription. Glides also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Steppy Pants's advantage is ratings volume (50K vs 564) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steppy Pants sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Glides sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steppy Pants holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steppy Pants has 50K ratings behind it against 564, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Steppy Pants's written reviews are positive against 47% of Glides's.

Steppy Pants ships an update every 9 days, Glides every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
