# TopSteps vs CalDiet

TopSteps and CalDiet both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of TopSteps's written reviews are positive against 48% of CalDiet's. TopSteps also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). CalDiet's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (42K vs 9). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TopSteps sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CalDiet sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CalDiet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CalDiet has 42K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TopSteps's written reviews are positive against 48% of CalDiet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TopSteps ships an update every 3 months, CalDiet every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
