Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: sMiles at 4.5 against STEPN's 4.2. sMiles also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). STEPN's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 32%) and iOS requirement (13 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. sMiles sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and STEPN sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
sMiles holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.7K and 3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of sMiles's written reviews are positive against 49% of STEPN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
sMiles ships an update every 2 weeks, STEPN monthly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
