# Dancemaker vs STEEZY

The clearest difference is rating: STEEZY at 4.7 against Dancemaker's 3.2. STEEZY also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 17). Dancemaker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (50% vs 38%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STEEZY sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Dancemaker asks for nothing beyond the download.

STEEZY holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STEEZY has 13K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Dancemaker's written reviews are positive against 38% of STEEZY's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dancemaker ships an update every 6 weeks, STEEZY every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 18, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
