# The Tapping Solution vs Steady

The clearest difference is monetization model: Steady at freemium against The Tapping Solution's subscription. Steady also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 4) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Steady sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Steady 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of The Tapping Solution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Steady's.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, Steady fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
