Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SwingPoints at 4.2 against STEPIN's 3.1. SwingPoints also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 36%) and device support (3 vs 1). STEPIN's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SwingPoints sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and STEPIN sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SwingPoints holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STEPIN has 55 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of SwingPoints's written reviews are positive against 36% of STEPIN's.
SwingPoints ships an update weekly, STEPIN every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
