# MoveSpring vs Stridekick Activity Challenges

The clearest difference is rating: Stridekick Activity Challenges at 4.5 against MoveSpring's 3.8. Stridekick Activity Challenges also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 303) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). MoveSpring's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (56% vs 45%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stridekick Activity Challenges sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. MoveSpring asks for nothing beyond the download.

Stridekick Activity Challenges holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stridekick Activity Challenges has 3.9K ratings behind it against 303, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MoveSpring's written reviews are positive against 45% of Stridekick Activity Challenges's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MoveSpring ships an update fortnightly, Stridekick Activity Challenges every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
