# Mustique vs Step

Mustique and Step both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mustique's written reviews are positive against 52% of Step's. Mustique also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Step's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
