# The Tapping Solution vs SafSteps

The clearest difference is rating: The Tapping Solution at 4.8 against SafSteps's 3.0. The Tapping Solution also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 6) and chart position (#107 vs unranked). SafSteps's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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 SafSteps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Tapping Solution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Tapping Solution has 24K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, SafSteps every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
