# The Tapping Solution vs Tap with Steph

The clearest difference is monetization model: Tap with Steph at free with in-app purchases against The Tapping Solution's subscription. Tap with Steph also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). The Tapping Solution's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Tapping Solution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Tap with Steph sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tap with Steph holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Tapping Solution has 24K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of The Tapping Solution's written reviews are positive against 80% of Tap with Steph's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, Tap with Steph every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
