# Caliber vs TopSteps

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.

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.

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.

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