# Clawbert vs Stepets

The clearest difference is update cadence: Stepets at weekly against Clawbert's every 4 months. Stepets also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Clawbert's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 255) and review sentiment (87% vs 66%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clawbert sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Stepets sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Clawbert against 4.6 for Stepets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clawbert has 28K ratings behind it against 255, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Clawbert's written reviews are positive against 66% of Stepets's.

Clawbert ships an update every 4 months, Stepets weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
