# MySteps vs AirScale

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AirScale at none against MySteps's 3. AirScale also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). MySteps's advantage is ratings volume (44K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MySteps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. AirScale asks for nothing beyond the download.

AirScale holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySteps has 44K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MySteps ships an update every 2 weeks, AirScale every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
