Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Caliber at fortnightly against TopSteps's every 3 months. Caliber also leads on ratings volume (6K vs 4) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). TopSteps's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Caliber sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.00 per month and TopSteps sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TopSteps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Caliber has 6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Caliber's written reviews are positive against 100% of TopSteps's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Caliber ships an update fortnightly, TopSteps every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
